Pinnacle SUCCEEDS with little $$$ — CCS FAILS with lots of $$$$$!! Pinnacle Educates — CCS Indoctrinates!!! Pinnacle Grows – CCS Shrinks!!! Discerning Parents Choose Pinnacle Classical Academy Every time!!! Report, conclusions and opinions by Robert A. Williams

Pinnacle Classical Academy published a news release today in the Shelby Star titled Shelby charter school preparing for $15 million expansion. The link is here

This should be required reading for every parent, taxpayer, citizen, elected official, potential candidates and voter in Cleveland County, North Carolina. Pinnacle Classical Academy represents a bright and shiny beacon for education amidst and surrounded by the dark, murky and dismal expanse of FAILURE, corruption, wa$te and a barren future for children that attend Cleveland County Schools.

Folks, despite my past, present and future references to Pinnacle Vice-Chairman Wes Westmoreland as being a Trump-Hating Rogue Republican and a RINO; Westmoreland and Chairman Debbie Clary have hit a “home-run” for Education in Cleveland County and I am NOT ashamed to say so.

Pinnacle Classical Academy is presently educating 600 students and this $15 Million LOAN (meaning Pinnacle has to pay it back) from the US Department of Agriculture will allow Pinnacle to double in size according to Westmoreland. The STATE of North Carolina GAVE CCS $15 Million and CCS is too stupid to figure out how to finally build auditoriums at Burns and Crest High Schools-after 57 years of just piddling around. Much less decide whether or not to add the auditoriums into a strategic plan to build and modernize all the CCS Schools over a period of time. And beyond. Pinnacle plans to build an auditorium during this second phase of construction.

Pinnacle Classical Academy is also shooting for a complete K-12 secondary education school. Just like what we had 60 years ago when the USA was Number ONE in the world in Education. Perhaps Pinnacle is on to something here. CCS currently has 29 schools divided into a mis-mash of Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, Intermediate Schools, High Schools, Early College High School and the new North Shelby School. For the 15,000 students in Cleveland County, 13 Pinnacle size schools would do the same job, Actually, a BETTER job. Think about that. And, at much less than half the price.

Also, remember this: CCS’s New North Shelby School presently serves around 50 students and Cost $16 Million to build. Pinnacle built their Phase One school for $13 Million and serve 600 students.

Need I say another word!!!
