Sam Brown, PE Teacher/Head Football Coach, has submitted his resignation effective at the end of the 24/25 SY.

- Jennifer Brock has requested to resign from her Special Ed Teaching position as of Jan. 24 to take a job outside of the education sector.  Due to the fact that 30 days notice was not provided, this is a breach of contract.  The contract gives the Board the right to deduct $1000 from her last paycheck and report this breach of contract to the PSC.  

SCCA Paraprofessional, Sheila Herendeen, has submitted her resignation effective Jan. 4, 2025.

- An amendment request has been submitted for PCA to add "students matriculating from Pataula Pre-K" as a 3rd enrollment priority.  SCSC staff are recommending approval to their Board, and approval is anticipated prior to the lottery.

- We were informed that SCCA cannot implement this enrollment priority until AFTER the CSP grant expires in March. Therefore, we cannot use this priority in January 2025 lottery (tomorrow) for SCCA.  However, we have requested this change in our renewal application which would go into effect in July 2025, and be used as a priority for all lotteries AFTER that date.

- Since SCCA is up for renewal their CPF results were released earlier than other schools; PCA should have their results by the next Board meeting.

- Based on the CPF results of the past 5 years, SCCA is eligible for a 5-yr renewal.  The SCSC will make official renewal decisions at one of their Board meetings in the next few months.  The renewal application has been submitted.

- There were NO findings or adverse practices on the FY25 Operations Monitoring for PCA or SCCA.
