The Bulloch County Board of Education accepted a state grant Thursday that will pay 80 percent of roughly $1 million worth of repairs and renovations on the portion of the old Julia P. Bryant School used by the Cedarwood GNETS program. However, the Statesboro Cedarwood school serves students with severe emotional and behavior disorders mainly from three counties, Candler, Evans and Bulloch, plus two students from Jenkins County. The building has a leaky roof, peeling paint and windows, doors and restrooms that predate current standards.
