The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Sept. 17 regular meeting to approve the renewal of a community-based instruction and vocational training program for the 2019-2020 school year.
The program, operated at local parks and recreation facilities, gives students an opportunity to gain in experience in a “real” work environment, according to officials, by performing mostly light custodial duties under the supervision of Henry County Board of Education employees. Young people in the program gain experience in production, proper safety techniques and appropriate work behavior.
The Henry County Parks and Recreation Department has been involved in the program for several years.
