The Schley County School system must engage in timely and meaningful consultation with representatives of private schools and with parents about the provision of special education and related services for parentally placed private school children attending private schools within the school system’s jurisdictions. This would include parents of students in a homeschool setting.
Schley County Schools will hold a Proportionate Share Consultation meeting to carry out this process on Tuesday, October 29th at 2:00PM. The meeting will be held at the Schley County Board of Education office, located at 161 Perry Drive, Ellaville, GA 31806. If you have any questions, please contact the Schley County Schools Special Education Department at 229-937-2405.
Schley County Schools has a duty to locate, evaluate and identify any child residing in the district who are suspected of, or have a disability or developmental delay. Children eligible for special education include those children with disabilities who have autism, deaf-blindness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury, visual impairment or developmental delay and who, because of such an impairment, need special education services.
If you suspect your child has a disability and may need special education services or if you would like additional information, please contact the District's Special Education Director, Jodie Leeder at 229-937-2405.

Due to the deteriorating weather conditions on Thursday and the severe weather expected early Friday morning, Schley County Schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday, September 26 and 27th. All Thursday afterschool events have been cancelled. Weather permitting, maintenance and custodial staffs will report at noon on Friday. We hope everyone is safe throughout the predicted weather.
SCHEDULED SAFETY DRILL
This morning the Schley County School District will be conducting a pre-planned Lockdown Drill. This drill is required by state law to be conducted annually for all schools in the State of Georgia. We also conduct this drill to practice and prepare our staff, students and local emergency responders to appropriately respond in the event of an armed intruder on our campus.
This drill will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. If you attempt to visit the school during the drill you will not be able to enter until the drill is completed. We appreciate your support and assistance in providing for the safety and security of our students and staff.
As part of our commitment to safety and security preparedness, our students and staff will practice various drills throughout the year. This will help ensure that our students are able to react quickly in the case of an actual emergency. HB 147 requires that schools conduct an intruder alert drill prior to October 1. Schley County will hold its drill Thursday, September 5th. Our goal will be to communicate with students so they can be familiar with what to do in an emergency situation. Schley County First Responders and Emergency Management personnel will also participate in order for them to be prepared, as well. Practicing various drills is a critical step in ensuring our students are prepared to react quickly and are practiced and comfortable with emergency procedures.
Free & Reduced carryover date is September 16, 2024. Students will eat on SY 23-24 status until September 16, 2024, or until a new Free & Reduced application has been processed for SY 24-25.
Schley County Elementary and Schley County Middle High School have been awarded the Ready Georgia Seal of Preparedness in its pilot year. Their applications were reviewed by experts at the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) and the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS). They were found to meet the requirements for this distinction. Congratulations to both schools and Officer Wall for their effort towards achieving school safety best practices!

In compliance with the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Schley County School System Student Services Department announces its intention to destroy special education records of any and all former students who were born on or before December 31, 1994. These records are no longer needed for educational purposes. All unclaimed records related to the identification, evaluation, or educational placement in special education services will be destroyed September 29, 2023.
Any former special education students and/or parents of former special education students wishing to obtain copies of these records prior to the destruction date of September 29, 2023, should contact the Special Education Department of the Schley County School System at 161 Perry Drive, Ellaville, Georgia.

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Georgia Department of Education and the Schley County School System have an obligation to identify, locate, and evaluate all students with disabilities residing within the district, who need special education and related services from ages 0 through 21 years, regardless of the severity of their disability. The Schley County School District currently serves children ages 3 through 21, with identified special education needs.
We are making every effort to locate all children residing in Schley County that may need special education consideration now or in the future.
We are asking for your help in locating disabled persons who are not receiving an education or who may require special education services. A referral may be made by anyone who has a concern about a child’s development. All referrals are considered confidential, and if found eligible, parents retain the right to refuse services.
