Beginning Prep Academy requests temporary classroom; council adds item to next agenda pending legal opinion
Summary
Becky Blount asked the council to allow a portable temporary building so Beginning Prep Academy can add first- and second-grade classrooms; after parents spoke in support the council voted to add the item to a future agenda pending receipt of a legal opinion.
During the Jan. 13 Town of Albany meeting, Becky Blount asked the council to permit a portable temporary building to be brought onto a site used by Beginning Prep Academy so the school can add first- and second-grade classrooms. Multiple parents attending the meeting spoke in favor of the request.
Councilman Jerry Glascock moved and Councilman Gerald Stilley seconded a motion to add Blount to the agenda and allow her to speak; the motion passed unanimously. After discussion among council members, Mayor Eileen Bates-McCarroll said the town would obtain a legal opinion and that Blount would be notified as soon as possible; the request will be placed on a following agenda if needed.
The minutes do not record specific details about the proposed site, zoning or permit requirements, nor do they state a timeline for the legal opinion. The council did not take a final vote on the portable building at the Jan. 13 meeting.
