Piedmont Community Charter reports full enrollment and expands PACE college‑credit options
Summary
The head of school told directors the charter is at full enrollment (1,966 students) across three campuses, outlined recent compliance filings, introduced several new hires for the coming year, and Pam Huffstetler gave a PACE program update showing tenth graders enrolled in College Now courses.
During the head of school report the board heard that Piedmont Community Charter is at full enrollment: "Our total enrollment as of today is 1,966 students. We have 682 at the elementary campus, 654 at the middle school campus, and 630 at the high school campus," the Head of School told directors.
Staff reviewed several compliance submissions filed with the Office of Charter Schools, including insurance policies, quarterly financial reports and statements of student count. The head of school also confirmed submission of a capital needs assessment tied to the school’s bond loan.
The board reviewed a personnel slate of new hires across elementary, middle and high school. The Head of School listed new teachers and staff and asked the board to approve the personnel report with a stated correction; a board member flagged what appeared to be a typographical error in one license expiration entry (Lee Williams listed as 2015), which the Head of School said was a typo and that the employee’s license is valid.
Pam Huffstetler presented the PACE college‑preparatory program update, reporting program enrollment and course sequencing: "For tenth graders, we currently have 25 students that are currently enrolled in 2 College Now classes this semester... so they will get 4 college classes this school year," she said. Huffstetler said ninth graders who qualify will begin College Now classes in January and staff are processing testing for additional students who may qualify.
Directors praised the program as a motivator for middle‑school students and discussed outreach at a local Rotary Club event. The personnel report was approved by the board with the stated correction.
