Dripping Springs ISD held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Adult Transition Services (18+ Program) Center on Nov. 13.

The new facility, located next to the Sycamore Springs campus, will serve 18- to 22-year-old special education students who have met graduation requirements but require continued services for job, self-help, and/or independent living skills. Through this federally-required program, students are able to participate in internships, apprenticeships, and paid employment, to prepare them for competitive jobs after graduation.
