Building the Bridge to Success
-
Fulton County Schools is focused on recovery and transformational student achievement, growth, and success for the future. The district’s three-year comprehensive plan to do this is called “Bridge to Success.” Consisting of several strategic goals and program initiatives, the Bridge to Success plan aims to address the impact of the pandemic on lost instruction and learning, and ensure the safety of students, staff, and families. Leveraging more than $168 million dollars of federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds, the district will implement and execute the plan which incorporates evidence-based interventions to support accelerated learning opportunities for students, and ensure they record the highest academic growth averages in the Metro Atlanta area.
