Completion Special Schools are local educational agencies (LEAs) that can enroll students who are at least 18 years of age and have dropped out of school and are not currently enrolled in a public school in Georgia. Completion Special Schools can also serve as a program to any other students within their service area, pursuant to a collaborative operating agreement between the Completion Special School and the student’s resident school district.
As of July 1, 2023, three former state charter schools (Foothills Regional, Mountain Education, and Coastal Plains) have transitioned to Completion Special Schools and plans are underway to establish a new Completion Special School in Zone 7 (Southwest Georgia region).

State Board of Education Rule 160-4-2-.17

​​​​​​​​​The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is designed to provide interventions for students who are at risk of not reaching or maintaining their academic grade level based on their performance on state or national assessments or performance measures in English Language Arts/Reading, Mathematics, or both in order to help them meet grade-level expectations within the shortest possible time. Early Intervention programming must include targeted, evidence-based interventions, frequent progress monitoring, and clear entrance and exit criteria based on grade level performance. It is not the intent of the program for students to be assigned to EIP on a continuing or permanent basis.​
