Buncombe County AIG Plan
The Differentiated Education Plan (DEP) is the document designating agreed-upon services
AIG students receive.
Annual Reviews summarize student performance in enrichment classes, contain
teacher comments, and include the services a student received that school year and will
receive the following school year.
