We MUST Have A Plan! CMS School-Wide Plan determines how Title Funds are spent
and must meet ten components required by the state.
Needs assessments are completed based on the Title 1 Parent Survey and State Assessment results.
(CMS Needs for 2014-2015 are Math, Writing, Social Studies and Science)
Planning team consists of teachers, administrators, and parents.
This years plan is located on the CMS webpage.
Parents may give input and feedback about the school-wide plan anytime throughout the year.
How do we know if we are making improvements?

Title I schools will now implement specific programs and interventions based on this new status identification. Only Priority Schools and Focus Schools will be required to implement and develop flexible learning programs (FLP) beginning
June 2012. Initial designations are based on 2011 test data.
In addition, Georgia's new Single Statewide Accountability System, the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) will serve as a comprehensive
