Presenter asks Screven County to pursue grants for adult education and prison GED programs
Summary
A presenter urged the county to seek grant funding to support adult education and GED programs in the community and at the Screven County Prison, citing resource and technology shortfalls during COVID-19.
Samantha Smith appeared before the Screven County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 14 to describe adult education and GED programs in the county and at the Screven County Prison, and she requested the county’s help pursuing grants to address resource and technology gaps created during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Smith told the board that many residents lacked the technology and resources needed for remote learning during the pandemic and said grant funds could help expand access. Commissioners did not take formal action at the meeting but were asked to consider applying for grants to support adult-education programming and prisoner GED access.
