As summer begins, remember: choices made outside of school can still affect a student’s education.

In some cases, arrests or serious incidents during the summer may be reported to the school and could lead to discipline when classes resume, including suspension or expulsion. Georgia Appleseed’s FAIR Project helps students facing school discipline, special education barriers, and behavioral health challenges. This school year, FAIR helped more than 300 children stay in school, access needed supports, and move forward with a fair chance to succeed.
