Annie Belle Clark Primary’s School Requirements

As a result, the United States Department of Education agreed to use a new system, the College & Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), to report the progress of Georgia's public schools. In January 2013 the Georgia Department of Education released the final list of indicators on which schools will receive a CCRPI score.

A Parent’s Right to Know
HB 251 is an amendment to Georgia law that provides parents an option to transfer their child into another public school within the same district, as long as there is available classroom space. Each school district in Georgia is tasked with defining available classroom space. The Tift County School District’s plan for compliance with HB 251 was created using the framework provided by the Georgia Department of Education. After careful analysis of the student population for the upcoming year, NO Tift schools have been deemed to have adequate permanent classroom space to accommodate School Choice transfer students for the 2015-2016 year.Please visit the Tift County Website for additional information.www.tiftschools.comClick News & EventsClick NewsClick HB251- School Choice
