I am a reader of your paper and I have heard some things about Step Up for Students and VCA. I encourage you to click on the link below.

The question remains, IS VCA TAKING MONEY AFTER THEY EXPEL THE STUDENTS?
Do the students need to be physically attending the school to receive the money?
Do they need to graduate to obtain the funds?
Do they need to finish the school year to obtain the funds?
Is there a percentage that the school must meet to qualify for Step Up?
When do the parents sign the checks? What is the protocol through Step up about signing the checks? VCA has parents sign the checks at the beginning of the school year.
What is the definition of expelled mean to VCA VS Step up?
A student who has been expelled from his or her usual educational environment as a result of a breach of major school regulations or policies has been permanently removed from that setting. Before a student may be expelled, a hearing will be held by the school board to determine whether or not the student should be expelled for the offense that they committed. But wait, VCA does not have a school board to make any decisions.
My curiosity peaked after reading the truth about VCA. I would like to know the answers to the questions.
Sincerely,
Whistle B.
My child attends VCA and is on a scholarship. We do not sign the checks at the beginning of the year. They are issued quarterly so we sign them every 9 weeks..
If only the true facts were reported on this site, instead it is one lie after another. If you have questions, call the school
We have called the school in the past they will not ever call us back or the comment is no comment
The school has no comment!
My kids go there and they are on this scholarship. We sign our checks every 9 weeks. The school has never asked us to do anything unlawfully or else I would pull them. So sad to see this. Making me start to question how truthful the articles are on here.
