Released by the Clarke County School District:

Athens, Georgia — The Clarke County School District’s Department of Special Education will hold a

Transition Fair this week, connecting students and their families with numerous resources to help them

plan for postsecondary success.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, April 25, at the district administrative offices building,

and more than 30 local and resource providers will be on hand to share information about community

There will also be parent/guardian workshops providing families with more information about and

facility. Click here to sign up for the workshop. Walk-ins are also welcome.
