SPAN of Etowah County is in Need of Transportation for Students
SPAN of Etowah county is in need of a 15 passenger van. SPAN serves middle and high school students who are in need of a non-traditional school setting. This program supports students who are at risk of dropping out of school or are in need of a second chance for various reasons. The SPAN program offers academic, emotional, and career counseling support for students and their families. Their goal is to ensure that all students in Etowah County have the opportunity to complete their diploma. SPAN is an invaluable program in Etowah County.
