SCCA has undergone the Stategic Planning process over the last year.  The first two priorities in the plan will impact academics and both schools will be following the implementation plan.  The third priority is related to building a permanent facility at SCCA. The Plan is approximately 85% finalized, however, Kylie is requesting Board review and input before it is presented to stakeholder focus groups for feedback and then shared with the public.

Cheryl gave an update on the construction timeline for the new gym and field house. The metal building materials for the gym have been delayed and will arrive in May. The gym and new weight room will share a roof so summer conditioning will not start until mid July, but the new gym will not be ready for use until after school starts. The field house will be ready the first to mid July in time for home football games as well as for Andrew College to host their 3 home games as contracted.

The Facility Adhoc committee met on April 10, including contractors. Using the same design as Pataula's building with few updates - we have a tentative move-in timeline of Fall 2027. Those adjusted design options were discussed pending enrollment numbers. Cheryl will begin working on the USDA financing process. The entire financing and construction process takes about 3 years historically.

Don't forget to also complete the online training prior to April 30, if you have not already done so.  Please send Kylie your training certificates once completed. She will need them to complete the annual training report.

Don't forget to complete the Annual Board Assessment if you have not done so.

Set for Friday, September 20, 2024 at Callaway. Please let Cheryl know which nights you will be staying. 

The Academic Committee reviewed Spring MAP score reports at their last meeting.  Both schools are demonstrating above average growth in Math overall and in Reading in primary grades. 

PCA will be adding two AP courses over the next two years.  We will begin with AP Seminar next year and then add AP Research the following year.  These course will benefit students in several ways:

- The course will add additional weight for GPA (similar to Dual Enrollment courses)

- The course can potentially earn college credit (based on score on AP Exam and colleges' criteria)

- The course will better prepare students for the rigor of college classes, specifically in writing papers for these particular courses being offered.

SCCA will offer these courses eventually, but will be starting up their Dual Enrollment program next year!! The benefits of Dual Enrollment courses are:

- DE courses add additional weight for GPA

- DE courses count as both high school and college credits

- DE courses better prepare students for the rigor and expectations of college

Self-assessments and survey data from staff have been shared with Board members.  Next step, each veteran Board member will review the self-assessments and staff survey data and then complete the surveys themselves.  The final report will then be created by the Committee Chair.
