Georgia Senators visit The Joseph Sams School

Georgia Senators Eric Johnson (R-1) and Ronnie Chance (R-16) made a visit to The Joseph Sams School, a not-for-profit, private special education school located in Fayetteville, Ga., to personally witness the impact that the recently passed Senate Bill 10 has made on children with special needs and their families. The Senators toured the facility, visited with students and held a question and answer session with the students’ families.

“When I introduced SB 10, Georgia's Special Needs Scholarship, The Joseph Sams School was an early and vocal supporter,” said Johnson. “It was a treat for me to get to see the educational environment they offer for disabled students. They provide a great service, and I'm glad that SB 10 gave several students the opportunity to go to school here.”

Eighteen percent of the students served by The Joseph Sams School directly benefit from SB10.
