KIPP Capital Region requests charter revision to relocate and grow Troy Prep high school
Summary
At a public hearing the district hosted, the presenter said KIPP Capital Region Public Charter School seeks a charter revision for KIPP Troy Prep to relocate its high school to a new facility and increase enrollment from about 743 to roughly 1,358 by 2029; the hearing was informational and no board action was recorded.
Chair opened a non‑action public hearing for a charter revision request and introduced Mister Carmelo to present. Mister Carmelo said KIPP Capital Region Public Charter School — which operates KIPP Troy Prep at two Troy locations — requested a charter revision that would relocate its high school to a new facility and expand high school enrollment.
Mister Carmelo said the school currently serves about 743 students in grades 8–12 and described a proposal to nearly double that enrollment, citing a projected figure of roughly 1,358 students by 2029. He framed the relocation and growth as offering alternatives that could return some students who travel to Albany for high school back to Troy.
The hearing was presented as part of the district’s required public process for charter changes; no formal board decision or vote on the charter revision appeared in the transcript.
