ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Dougherty County is opening a brand new alternative school.
The school board approved transitioning its alternative program into an alternative school for next year.
“Where they are in the alternative programs, they have a temporary opportunity to learn in that setting. Right? And so this really provides more of a long-term learning opportunity for a child who may just need a non-traditional place to learn,” said Dr. Paulette Hart, the executive director for Alternative Education.”
