Here's one way to do it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" "Custom" tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<=\"<today>\"+PRIORITY=\"A\"")
;; ...other commands here
        ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Another approach is to use the daily agenda view and a skip function.
This is a bit faster than the first example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" "Custom" agenda ""
	 ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:scheduled))
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "\\[#A\\]"))))
;; ...other commands here
        ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH,
