ATTENTION: Oakland Academy Charter School is a proposed local FREE Public Charter School with open enrollment in Gilmer County including grades K -7 and expanding to 8th grade. We need your support for improved FREE, local educational options at the next Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, April 12, at 5:30 p.m . The meeting will be held at the BOE Central Office on Bobcat Trail. Charter schools are governed by an independent board of directors, and receive flexibility from certain state and local rules and regulations. In exchange for this flexibility, charter schools are held to a higher level of accountability for raising student achievement. Oakland Academy proposes to open as a startup charter school for the 2012- 2013 school year, serving grades K-7 and increasing to grades K-8 in the second year. We are seeking the Board of Education’s approval of our startup time line. The mission of the Oakland Academy Charter School is to provide all students with educational opportunities for mastery of core curriculum, interdisciplinary themes, and the development of 21st century skills that will equip them to reach their highest positive potential as learners, citizens, leaders and members of a global society and to attain the American Dream to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable. The Oakland Academy Charter School envisions providing all students with a world-class education through collaboration and the shared responsibility of school faculty and staff, family, school governing board, Gilmer County Board of Education, community, and State of Georgia with ongoing engagement of all stakeholders in the process. This will be accomplished by the following: a. highly interactive classrooms full of student initiated inquires; b. student mastery of core curriculum, interdisciplinary themes and the development of 21st century skills; c. selection of unparalleled leadership and teaching staff; d. a diverse, dedicated and highly skilled governing board e. unprecedented parental involvement; f. strengthened board community and stakeholder engagement in the school; g. implementation of researched-based best practices in teaching and learning; h. empowering each student as a positive contributing member of our community and global society and a leader in our shared economic future; i. student career portfolios started in 6th grade and completed by end of 8th grade to include an exploration of entrepreneurial opportunities including agribusiness, other local careers and future job opportunities in the community and beyond; and, j. exploration of the unique potential of the American Dream in our global society.
