Pataula and Spring Creek split into separate corporations and boards

What happened

In December 2025 the board said Spring Creek Charter Academy is being separated from Pataula Charter Academy, Inc. Each school gets one dedicated board member (Josh Duncan for PCA, Nicole Johnson for Spring Creek) and separate meetings from January 2026, held back-to-back on the same day. The split is part of a bond for new Spring Creek buildings.

Why it matters to families

Pataula's board decisions are now recorded apart from Spring Creek's, though most board members and leaders are shared.

The evidence

The December 15, 2025 board minutes say "With the separation of the two schools' incorporation status, the new bylaws state that there will be one member on each school's board who is not on the other's board," record the vote appointing Josh Duncan and Nicole Johnson, and say separate meetings begin in January. The January 26, 2026 minutes record the assignment agreement between PCA INC and SCCA INC.
