Parents of English learners are notified within 30 days of the beginning of the school year, or within two weeks of identification during the year, if their child is identified as an English learner and will receive services. Parents have the right to receive notification in a language they understand, to decline services, to request a change in their child’s language instruction program, and to participate in outreach and engagement activities.
Title I, Part A provides additional resources to ensure all children, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged or at risk of failing, have the opportunity to meet challenging state academic standards. At Northwest Georgia Charter Academy, Title I funds are used to strengthen instruction, provide academic support, and increase family engagement so that every student can thrive.
Northwest Georgia Charter Academy operates a Schoolwide program under Title I, Part A.
Federal law (ESSA § 1116) requires schools receiving Title I funds to partner with families in meaningful ways. We hold an Annual Title I Meeting to share information about the program, use of funds, and parent rights. We distribute and review the school’s Parent and Family Engagement Policy each year. Parents, teachers, and students work together to develop a School-Parent Compact outlining shared responsibilities for student success.
In accordance with Section 1112(e)(1)(A) of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Northwest Georgia Charter Academy is required to notify parents of children attending a Title I school that they may request, and the school will provide in a timely manner, information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teachers. This information includes: whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas taught; whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualifications or licensing criteria have been waived; the baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher; and whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
Additionally, parents will be notified within 20 days if their child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks, by a teacher who is not properly certified.

The Migrant Education Program supports children and youth of migratory agricultural workers and fishers, who often face frequent moves, interrupted schooling, and language barriers. Northwest Georgia Charter Academy works with the Georgia Department of Education’s Migrant Education Program Office to identify students who qualify. Families complete a Migrant Education Occupational Survey during enrollment, and eligibility is verified by the state. Eligible students and families may receive tutoring and supplemental instruction, English language development support, school supplies, health and nutrition referrals, summer or afterschool programming, and translation and interpretation.
Title I, Part D supports children and youth living in local institutions for neglected or delinquent children, attending community day programs, or at risk of academic failure due to involvement with the juvenile justice system.
Northwest Georgia Charter Academy does not currently receive Title I, Part D funding. If the school serves eligible students in the future, Title I, Part D services will include academic support, transition planning, and coordination with community and state agencies.
Title II, Part A provides funding to improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders. When allocated, funds may be used to provide professional learning, support coaching and mentoring, recruit and retain qualified educators, and build leadership capacity. The school maintains transparent hiring practices and professional development plans aligned with state standards.
Title III, Part A helps English learners attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards as their peers, and supports immigrant students as they adjust to a new educational system. Funds may be used for ESOL instruction, language development programs, curriculum and technology, professional learning, and translation and interpretation for families.

Title IV, Part A improves student achievement by increasing the school’s capacity to provide a well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and increase the effective use of technology. When allocated, funds may support STEM, fine arts, and enrichment programs; social-emotional learning and counseling supports; school safety initiatives; and classroom technology with an emphasis on digital citizenship.
