The Georgia Department of Education is in the preliminary stages of drafting a new state rule governing the GNETS program and services, and they want to hear from Georgia families.

The DOE is hosting four regional feedback meetings to get your input on the proposed draft rule regarding how Georgia provides supports for behavioral-related disabilities and the current GNETS programs.

GNETS feedback meeting locations: Date Meeting time
Buford City April 12 3pm – 6pm
Dublin April 13 3pm – 6pm
