As the City of Griffin, our primary responsibility is to those who live, work, visit, or otherwise come in contact with our City. In providing this information in partnership with the Griffin-Spalding County School System and Georgia Department of Transportation, we aim to help communicate this change to keep students safe in our community while traveling to and from school. At this time, school zone signage is being updated and replaced by the City of Griffin Sign Shop and the Georgia Department of Transportation.
