We seek to sustain an educational community where an emphasis on academic excellence is complemented by our concern for each learner’s personal growth and intellectual, aesthetic, and psychological development. The curriculum is developmentally responsive – actively engaging students in learning skills in context, integrative – directing students to connect learning to daily lives, and exploratory – enabling students to discover their abilities, interests, learning styles, and ways that they can make contributions to society.

  B. The Seaside School Teacher Salary Scale Vote Kav Tucker 5 m
   

The goal was to create a scale that separates us from the the reaction to Walton County's Scale. 

 

Over the past two months multiple charter school salary scales across the nation were vetted. 

 

The most common, personalized scale, included a consistent base plus a %. 

 

These two scales attached were vetted through both SNS and SCS staff members, then followed up through survey.

 

In addition, charter school operators provided feedback. 

 

The amended scale (1.2) aimed to create shorter time period salary scale increases, focus more on the 14+ tenured teachers as the majority of our staff are in this timeframe.
