Exceptional Children’s Week is an event created by the Georgia Council for Exceptional Children to showcase the education and quality of life for children and youth with exceptionalities and to enhance the engagement of their families.
In White County, commissioners proclaimed April 14-18 as Exceptional Children’s Week in the county.
With almost a dozen exceptional children present during the March 31 meeting, Commissioner Shan Ash read a proclamation designating the special week. Ash said that 717 students in the White County School System are currently receiving special education services.
He explained, “During Exceptional Children’s Week, White County Schools and the community at large will participate in activities centered around celebrating all types of disabilities and exceptionalities.”
