The Harrell Learning Center is a member of the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) that is comprised of 24 programs which support the local school systems’ continuum of services for students with disabilities, ages 3-21. The programs provide comprehensive educational and therapeutic support services to students due to the severity of one or more of the characteristics of the disability category of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD).
The Harrell Learning Center serves eight surrounding counties: Ware, Coffee, Charlton, Pierce, Atkinson, Clinch, Bacon, and Brantley. Our facility is located in Ware County and students are bused to/from daily. Our fiscal agent is Okefenokee Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA).

Students receiving services through a GNETS Program are referred by their local school system through the Individual Education Program (IEP) process. An IEP team may consider in-class services by a GNETS program for a child with an emotional and behavioral disorder based upon documentation of the severity of the duration, frequency and intensity of one or more of the characteristics of the disability category of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). This documentation must include prior extension of less restrictive services and data which indicate such services have not enabled the child to benefit educationally. For children receiving in-class services, local schools are actively involved.
