Fulton County Schools is soliciting your input on the district's Bridge to Success plan to support our students and staff with the federal funds received through the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

The funding to the district will end on September 30, 2024, and until that time, Fulton County Schools will continue to use funds to address learning loss through evidence-based interventions and maintaining a safe learning environment for our students and staff.
