The Dyslexia School in Downtown Acworth
Parents,
I’m having issues with emails stripping attachments and links, as well as me accidentally sending emails to everyone rather than those who need it. I apologize.
Meanwhile, here is the waiver for those who need it as well as the link for FACTS tuition set up instructions

We will also have our COVID-19 Policy finalized later this week after we update with most recent guidelines
Thank you for your patience!

Georgia HB 301 was introduced into legislation this week by floor leader Jodi Lott-R (District 122).
This bill would allow parents to use state funds in a manner similar to “vouchers” in other states. Students are eligible if they were enrolled in a Georgia public school the year prior to enrolling in private school. This requirement would not apply to groups such as low-income families, the learning disabled or victims of bullying.
The funding would be similar to that of SB10 (Georgia Special Needs Scholarship), the state portion the local school district gets per student, which averages approximately 54 percent of the total when federal and local dollars are included.
Professional organizations such as the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE), oppose this bill claiming that it will “peel away the easiest students to educate” while dismissing the fact that so many students that will be using it are like those attending schools like ours because they were NOT being adequately served. Many of these students are currently receiving funds from SB10 and the Tax Credit Scholarship, which they also oppose. This bill would help families not eligible for SB10, and possibly offer additional support to those who do receive SB10 funds.
Let your legislators know you support this bill (look up HERE) and reach out to the bill authors:
