Statement from SCALE Academy Charter School regarding PUSD’s Press Release

“It is unfortunate that PUSD has issued this false statement against SCALE Academy and Acton Agua Dulce Unified School District. SCALE Academy is a state approved charter school and has not violated any laws. Therefore, the statements presented by PUSD have absolutely no merit nor has such a position have had any precedent in the court of law.

SCALE offers a non-traditional blended learning model that combines face-to-face teacher-student interaction, online learning, self-directed study, and project-based learning. SCALE offers a unique alternative educational solution to many of the challenges in traditional school settings. While it is expected some school districts will not support school-choice and will attempt to deter families from exercising their choice for alternative schooling, our state legislature has enacted legislation that allows independently operated schools to provide more creative learning environments and educational choices.

Current state law allows for charter schools to locate and function outside the boundaries of their chartering district if they meet certain criteria, and SCALE has worked diligently in its efforts to comply with all provisions of applicable law. SCALE is committed to offering parents an alternative to the typical private and public education.

Furthermore, it is our understanding that PUSD’s press release is a tactic to scare families from making school related choices that they believe are best for their children. While PUSD has made it known that they intend to use their resources for an unmerited legal action, SCALE Academy intends to focus its resources on providing educational equity for its currently enrolled students. We are hopeful that PUSD will do the same for its currently enrolled students.”
