  C. PCA - 2020-2021 Academic CPF Determination FYI
   
- PCA "met standards" on the Academic CPF for the 2020-2021 school year, based on the SCSC revised CPF measures. PCA outperformed the local districts' GaDOE Achievement Scores at all grade bands.
  
  D. SCCA - 2020-2021 Academic CPF Determination FYI
   
- Currently SCCA's 2020-2021 Academic CPF determination is "approaching standards".  According to current calculations of the GaDOE Achievement Scores, SCCA performed "the same as" local districts at the Elementary level, but did not outperform at the middle school level or on the single score.  However, we feel there was an error in calculations, as scores for New Beginning Learning Center in Decatur County was left out of the calculations.  The new calculations including all middle school scores in Decatur indicates that SCCA scored "the same as" local districts' single score. We have also submitted MAP Growth data, which is the 3rd way schools can "meet" on the Academic CPF for the 2020-2021 school year, due to the absence of CCRPI scores.  The SCSC has not yet evaluated this new data to make a determination.
