Each year, students with behavioral or psychological disabilities are sent from local public schools to the Futures Program. The program, previously housed at the Academy at Wood’s Mill in Gainesville, is part of the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support, which is under scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Justice. Eleven years after the suicide of a local GNETS teen, an investigation released last Wednesday by the department found the program provides unequal opportunities to students with disabilities, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
