People got a chance to spoil the animals coming into the new Macon-Bibb Animal Welfare Shelter with a Fur Baby Shower Saturday.

Steve Layson, the assistant county manager, told us more than 250 people brought supplies to the new shelter.

It was in need of all kinds of pet supplies, everything from food to toys and beds for the cats and dogs.

Volunteers say they are just trying to make the animals as comfortable as possible during their stay at the shelter.

Saturday afternoon, special education students had the chance to dream of the possibilities of a full life after high school graduation.

13WMAZ's Paula Rotondo was at the first ever "self-determination conference," and she spoke to people who are trying to help those dreams come true.

Nearly 200 people including parents, students, and teachers attended the conference.

Lisa Allred, the director of the Middle Georgia Learning Resource Systems explained its purpose.

She says, "Parents and students together dreaming about how they could use those talents for a career after high school and then setting goals to get there."

She says the transition out of high school for typical students is hard enough.

The Bibb County school board and their last superintendent are each accusing the other of fraud and demanding millions of dollars in damages.

The case could be headed to a trial before an arbitrator, who'll decide if either party violated their contract or severance deal.

The school board on Friday said it wants former Superintendent Romain Dallemand to pay more than $7.3 million that they said he owes them.
