As part of the new GA Early Literacy Act schools are required to adopt K-3 ELA
instructional materials from the "approved" list OR use a rubric to determine if the
materials they are using meet research-based practices. Curriculum Director, Kathy
Bantz, has used the rubric to assess our current materials and determined that they
do meet requirements. We have invested a lot of money and time into the current
curricular programs, and also believe continuity of instruction is key to continued
growth and achievement. Therefore, we would recommend that we continue to use
the following instructional materials for our K-3 Reading/English Language Arts:
• Knowledge-Based Reading Curriculum: Wit and Wisdom
• K-3 Phonics: From Phonics to Reading by Wiley Blevins
• K-1 Phonological/Phonemic Awareness: Heggerty Phonemic Awareness

At this time we need a formal vote from the Board approving our curriculum.

Enrollment numbers indicate the need for another bus route at SCCA. The Finance Committee has approved the addition of another full time bus driver position for SCCA. Cheryl is requesting full Board approval.

The Finance Committee has approved the recommendation to Install Radios in the buses at SCCA. Using the same vendor as PCA, Mobile Communications, Jeremy will be able to contact buses from both schools using his equipment already in place. Safety Grant funds will be used to purchase the radios for $15,118.14. Cheryl is requesting full Board approval.

The Board set the 24/25 Board Goal of "creating a long-term sucession plan". Board
members serving on this ad hoc committee are Lindsey Hixon, Jennifer Sanders,
Jamie Earp, and Erica Austin. We need to set a meeting date for this.  Kylie will contact Jennifer and Erica for their input - the meeting is tentatively set for January 27 2025 at 5:00 in lieu of the Finance Committee meeting. 

The Academic Excellence Committee met Oct. 28 to review the 2023-2024 State Data
that has been released pubicly so far, as well as Fall 2024 MAP Growth data:
- Spring 2024 Milestones

- Fall 2024 MAP Growth reports

Both schools showed growth. We will receive our CCRPI score mid-December.  This will determine our status toward meeting charter goals.
