Rankin County School District (RCSD) recently announced that The Spot Downtown, located at 223 Tamberline Street in Brandon, is now open.
The Spot Downtown, which opened on March 21, 2022, is described as a unique coffee and art shop, and it is also part of the Aspire Program.
The Spot Coffee Shop serves as an employment training lab for students in RCSD’s Special Education Transition Program. The Mississippi Council on Developmental Disabilities awarded RCSD a start up grant to improve students’ opportunities for competitive employment through this working classroom in 2012. Now, The Spot continues to run through support from the district and community.
The Aspire Program is a RCSD Transition Program, which offers community-based instruction and vocational skills training to high school students with disabilities to support future transition to employment and adult living through hands-on activities and meaningful, real-life experiences.
The Spot Downtown will be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. till 2 p.m.
