The Title I Recognition and Distinguished Schools program honors those Title I elementary and secondary schools that make adequate yearly progress (AYP) for three or more consecutive years.

North Fayette and Robert J. Burch Elementary are among 20 schools throughout the state that are being honored for making AYP for six consecutive years.

Each school will receive $15,615 and a certificate.

Peachtree City and Tyrone Elementary are among 150 schools statewide recognized for having met AYP for three consecutive years. Both schools will receive a certificate in honor of its achievement.

Schools receiving monetary awards must use the funds for educational purposes only. Each school will decide specifically how funds will be spent.

Schools may provide monetary awards to principals, teachers and staff, use funds to purchase resources and instructional supplies for the school or use funds for special school wide projects.
