Family Literacy Program
Jasper County School District follows the Guidelines for Implementing Parenting/Family Literacy Programs as Required by Act 135, which states that districts must develop a process to identify and recruit families. Programs must include intensive and special efforts to recruit and give priority to serving those parents or guardians of children ages birth through 5 years old who are considered at risk for school failure, as indicated primarily by:
a low level of income,
a low level of adult literacy or English language proficiency of the eligible parent and teen parenting.
