Georgia Learning Resources System (GLRS) Supporting Education in Georgia

The Georgia Learning Resources System (GLRS) is a network that provides training and resources to school district personnel, parents of students with disabilities, and other interested individuals to support the achievement, graduation rate, and post-secondary success of students with disabilities. Although schools and businesses were physically closed the last months of school during FY 20, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the GLRS network provided remote support to local school districts in meeting the state-identified priorities and regionally-identified priorities. Throughout the state 7,338 participants took part in a total of 1,122 sessions which included meetings and professional learning. Check out the Quarter 4 Report that outlines the GLRS support provided to local school districts and communities in the state of Georgia from April 2020-July 2020.
