- Kayla Williams has submitted her resignation effective at the completion of the 2024-2025 SY.  Her family is relocating for her husband's new coaching job at ABAC.

The charter renewal application is due January 8.  The application is complete other than the Academic CPF determination for the 2023-2024 school year, which the SCSC will release no later than Dec. 23.  We are not requesting any major revisions to our charter contract. We are requesting two minor operational changes:

- Request to increase the enrollment cap.  The current charter did not include full enrollment for K-12, and the Board has discussed the possibility of increasing the class size in order to afford a permanent facility. The new enrollment minimum and maximum numbers will allow us to maintain the current class size OR increase by 2 per class.  

- Request to add students who attended SCCA BFTS Pre-K as a 3rd enrollment priority.  This is allowable by GA law, but we have not been able to use this priority due to USED CSP Grant guidelines.  We would like to add this new priority since our CSP grant period will be over. 

- Request to amend charter to add 3rd enrollment priority - students enrolled in Pataula Charter Academy's BFTS Pre-K program.
