Jamie McCullough, PCA 4th grade teacher,  tendered her resignation effective the end of the 2020-2021 school year. 

Kylie recommended the hiring of Joni Cook, PCA Pre-K teacher, and Susan Scott, PCA High School Math teacher, for the 2021-2022 School Year.

Kelly Crews, Janet McConnell and Krystal Apke will resign at the end of the 2020-2021 school year. 

Kylie recommended the following new hires at SCCA for the 2021-2022 school year:

Linda Miller, part-time Leadership Coach; Alanna Langdon, Beth Miller, Betsy Gross, Sheri Ward and Jennifer Brock, teachers.

Along with the rest of the nation, PCA MAPS scores for this testing period show less gains than normal years. Math scores are 4.9% lower than the previous years scores and ELA scores are 6.2% lower. There was growth in 2nd, 3rd and 8th grade Math scores and 2nd ELA scores show growth as well. GaDOE has applied for an accountability waiver with US Ed. As a result it is unlikely schools will receive a CCRPI Score for 2020-2021.

SCCA has no previous Milestones scores to compare MAPS scores.  However, most schools are showing a significant decrease in scores due to the COVID situation.  SCCA MAPS scores for this testing period show growth in 1st and 4th grade Math. GaDOE has applied for an accountability waiver with US Ed. As a result it is unlikely schools will receive a CCRPI Score for 2020-2021.

Kylie usually presents a monthly Operational checklist for each school. In an effort to have a document more aligned to CPF she created a spreadsheet that is Identical to the CPF layout. She will present it monthly to show in which indicators we may be losing points. The projected Operational CPF score for PCA is 83, which is a projected "meeting" score. PCA had Federal Programs monitoring this year and findings lowered our score from normal.

Using the new format Kylie created, the Projected Operational CPF score for SCCA is 87, which is a projected "meeting" score.

The SCCA USEd CSP Grant Budget has been amended to reflect staff and training changes. It had been approved to hire a Director of Development and Marketing, this has not proven feasible at this time and the funds will now be used for the part-time leadership coach salary. Since Expeditionary Learning has made all PD virtual for the remainder of the year, we decided to contract with someone else for Project-Based Learning PD. This consultant was our EL school designer at one time. This budget change will cover her fees to include her travel.

This is the contract for the Expeditionary Learning consultant to be paid for with CSP grant funds. This contract will not exceed $20,000. This will replace the Expeditionary Learning contract for Year 2 of the grant.

The number of students distance learning has basically stayed the same percentage this month, approximately 23% PCA and 9% SCCA. There have been no protocol changes. The number of positive cases since school started has not changed since last month, and there are no current positive cases right now and only 3 students quarantining due to family/community exposure.

It is the unanimous recommendation of Leadership at both schools that we not offer the option for Distance Learning next school year. MAPS scores show the need for face to face learning and our protocols seem to be working to contain the spread at school. We will be able to return to a 5 day school week without the need for teachers to split their attention between distance and face to face learners. We would still face mandatory quarantining for positive cases, however, with a high percentage of our staff being vaccinated, we anticipate fewer shutdowns. There may still be some students with medical conditions that would require distance learning.  These would require documentation from their Doctor and would be decided on a case by case basis.
