Consolidated Plan
Gordon County Schools has an approved Streamlined Consolidated LEA Improvement Plan (S-CLIP). The Georgia Department of Education requires the CLIP or S-CLIP to fulfill the need for a plan from each local educational agency (LEA) to define how the LEA will support their students when accepting federal funds under The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. The components of the S-CLIP are revised annually with input of stakeholders through a problem solving process of identifying needs and addressing those needs. Federal, state, and local funds are then coordinated to meet those needs. For the ESSA and IDEA federal grants, needs identification directs the development of the federal budgets.
