BOARD & LEADERSHIP


A Message from our CEO, Meghan Freeman, M. Ed.

CEO, Meghan Freeman, M. Ed.Elite Academic Academy exemplifies the spirit of the charter school movement.

As a public school administrator with 22 years of traditional TK-12 educational leadership experience, I have seen the school choice movement become the answer for many students and families who are seeking flexible learning or struggling within a traditional school setting.

I am honored to be a founding member of the Elite Academic Academy team and have committed to a student-centered focus throughout all aspects of the organization. We will work with academy enrollees to achieve a flexible, rigorous, relevant, personalized, and standards-aligned education.

Our homeschool, virtual, and flex academy options allow for each learner to find an independent study program that meets their unique learning style. We also ensure a workplace that encourages our teaching staff to employ creative solutions for diverse student needs.

Focusing on the core values of Responsibility, Communication, and Teamwork, we work to create an environment where all students can achieve. Elite Academic Academy cares about what happens after students graduate and will have skilled professionals available to coach students even after they receive their high school diploma.

By attending our Elite Athletic, Visual and Performing Arts, Career Technical, and Quest Crew enrichment clubs, it is our hope students will work to achieve college scholarships and/or advanced certifications to begin successful employment. At Elite Academic Academy, we are committed to providing a superior independent study program and look forward to serving your community.

LCAP

The Local Control and Accountability Plan or LCAP is a critical part of California’s new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). It is a three-year, charter-level plan that is updated annually. The plan describes the school’s key goals for students as well as the specific actions (with expenditures) the charter will take to achieve the goals and the means (metrics) used to measure progress.

The LCAP addresses the needs of all students, including specific student groups, and all charters must specifically address English learners, foster youth, and low-income students. In addition, the LCAP must address the state of California’s eight priority areas that include student academic achievement, school climate, student access to a broad curriculum, and parent engagement. The charter school spending plan aligns to these academic priorities.

Title IX

The legislative intent of Senate Bill 1375 is to clarify Title IX requirements for public schools in California. The new law requires charter schools to post information on the school web site on or before July 1, 2021 identifying the school’s Title IX Coordinator, the rights of students and the responsibilities of schools, and a description of how to file a complaint. Title IX Coordinator: Ms. Meghan Freeman (866) 354-8302 ex 703.
