Three Coweta County schools Named as Distinguished Title I schoolsThu, 10/25/2007 - 3:00pm

The Coweta County Board of Education honored eight Coweta County elementary schools as Distinguished Title I Schools, at its October regular meeting. The Georgia Department of Education’s Title I Recognition and Distinguished Schools program honors those Title I elementary and secondary schools that make adequate yearly progress (AYP) three or more consecutive years. AYP is determined under the No Child Left Behind ACT. Several Coweta County schools were recognized for making AYP for three or more consecutive years. Poplar Road and Grantville Elementary Schools were recognized for making AYP for three consecutive years, and were presented with a certificate of accomplishment. Arnco-Sargent, Newnan Crossing and Atkinson Elementary Schools were recognized for making AYP for five consecutive years, and were presented with a certificate of accomplishment. Ruth Hill, Jefferson Parkway and Elm Street Elementary Schools were recognized for making AYP for six consecutive years, and were presented with a certificate of accomplishment. “We appreciate the hard work that the principals and staff at these schools have done,” said Blake Bass, Superintendent of the Coweta County School System. The Title I Distinguished Schools Grant recipients were honored for their performance in the 2006-07 school year. The number of schools honored varies from year to year, and is dependent on the number of schools meeting the criteria. Schools identified for recognition must meet or exceed AYP for three or more consecutive years and must have not been on the Unsafe Schools Choice Option (USCO) list within the last two years. login to post comments |
