Board Policy IA: Instructional Program Philosophy

Fulton County Board of Education supports our vision that each child should be given the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. To that end, our continuous achievement framework for advancement allows each child to progress in language arts and math at his or her appropriate instructional pace and depth, expanding and compacting the curriculum as appropriate. The framework is implemented in all elementary and middle schools and includes a process for advancement in the current grade level and an acceleration process which allows a student to advance above grade level.
