TITLE III - English Language Learners

The Title III Federal Program identifies and serves English Language Learners in Decatur County. English Language (EL) learners are identified using the DRC Screener.  Student eligibility is determined by individual test scores and once a student is eligible, parent permission is required for participation in English as a Second Language Program (ESOL). All EL students are required by law to participate in the ACCESS assessment each school year. 

ESOL service sites: Jones Wheat Primary, West Bainbridge Primary, Hutto Elementary School, Bainbridge Middle School, Bainbridge High School and New Beginnings Learning Center.
