Child Find Notice

In accordance with IDEA regulations, the Brooks County School System is in the process of locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities to ensure that they receive the services to which they are entitled.  Children and youth, age birth to 21, living in the Brooks County School District, who are suspected of having a disability, may be referred for a possible evaluation to determine if they are eligible for special education services.  If you know a child with a disability that is not served or attends private or home school, please notify Bridgette Culpepper, Brooks County Schools, at 229-588-2340, or by email at bculpepper@brooks.k12.ga.us.
