Seeing the Future

 

Now that Shining Rock Classical Academy: A Challenge Foundation Academy has received charter approval, the board and I are working on some of the more concrete steps that we must take to open the doors for your children in 2015.


 

Currently, we are wrapping up our 501c3 "non-profit" application, which allows donors to claim tax write-offs for their contributions of money and materials. Fund-raising and grants are crucial to charters in the start up phase, because unlike traditional schools, charters do not receive capital funding, which is the line item that pays for land and facilities.

We are currently beating the brush (sometimes literally) to find a location for Stage One of our building project. We have found several imaginative property owners who are willing to work with Shining Rock to provide owner financing, lease to purchase, and even deferred payment options so that we get a roof over our heads. YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS! If you or someone you know has property that would allow for a placement of modular classrooms for 5-10 years, please contact SRCA-CFA Board Member Mike Mehaffey at mmehaffey@srca.teamcfa.org.


 

Enrollment will begin in early 2015. I will be in temporary office space from January 6th through the establishment of our Stage One facilities. I will keep office hours to answer questions and help parents with the open enrollment process. One of Shining Rock's board members has generously offered to share office space with me in the Waynesville Industrial Park, but we would like to find free accommodations closer to downtown. If you can help with this need, please contact me.


 

Currently, we have parent interest forms representing a total of 322 students of which 191 will enter our school on Day One. This is a great start of our goal of 308 students in grades K-6 on Day One, but we need your help! Please pass on this email to any friends with children of appropriate age. You can also direct them to our website (shiningrockclassicalacademy.com) or email me at bbutler@srca.teamcfa.org. Thank you for helping to make Shining Rock Classical Academy a reality!
