There is an effort underway in Lowndes County to open a public, tuition-free school of choice called Scintilla Charter Academy (“SCA”). The mission of SCA is to increase student achievement and develop social responsibility through educational innovation in a safe community of involved families and educators. Scintilla Charter Academy proposes to open for the 2015-2016 school year, serving Kindergarten through Third Grade and increasing one grade per year through Fifth Grade. If you support this effort or if you believe that your child would benefit from having another public school option in Valdosta and Lowndes County, please sign your name to the support petition.
