The Lawrenceville City Council has approved a rezoning request that will allow a private, special-needs school to leave its small and outdated classrooms and move into a bigger space.
The Special Needs School of Gwinnett currently operates out of two trailers and two homes. It has 60 students and will be able to serve 200 when it builds a new school, a school official said.
Lawrenceville council members voted Wednesday evening in favor of its request to rezone property the school owns at 660 Davis Road.
The Special Needs School of Gwinnett wants to raise $4.2 million for the new school. The fundraising drive begins at noon Sept. 13 on the property.
