District AIG Plan
Nash County Public School's Local AIG Plan 2025-2028
The AIG Department of the Nash County School System has developed their local plan based on the NC AIG Program Standards (adopted by SBE, July 2024).
These Standards serve as a statewide framework and guide LEAs to develop, coordinate and implement thoughtful and comprehensive AIG programs. The NC AIG Program Standards encompass six principle standards with accompanying practices. These standards articulate the expectations for quality, comprehensive, and effective local AIG programs and relate to the categories related to NC's AIG legislation, Article 9B (N. C. G. S. 115C-150.5). These best practices help to clarify the standard, describe what an LEA should have in place, and guide LEAs to improve their programs.
This local AIG plan has been approved by the LEA's Board of Education and accepted by the
State Department of Public Instruction.
Nash County Schools Vision for AIG Program
Nash County Public Schools has developed this local AIG plan based on the NC AIG Program Standards (adopted by SBE 2025). These Standards serve as a statewide framework and guide Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to develop, implement, and monitor thoughtful and comprehensive AIG programs. The NC AIG Program Standards encompass six principal standards with accompanying practices. These standards articulate the expectations for quality, comprehensive, and effective local AIG programs aligned to NC's AIG legislation, Article 9B (N. C. G. S. 115C150.5). These best practices help to clarify the standard, describe what a LEA should have in place, and guide LEAs to improve their programs. In an effort to continue to transform AIG programs and align to the NC AIG Program Standards, each LEA has participated in a self-assessment process of their local AIG program, involving multiple stakeholders. The data gathered during this process has guided LEAs in their development of this local AIG plan for 2025-2028. This local AIG plan has been approved by the LEA's local board of education or charter school's board of directors and sent to NC DPI for comment.
