CORE Charter proposes campus addition; state bills could block hosting at Camptonville Elementary
Summary
A presenter said CORE Charter plans to demolish three houses near campus to build an addition and is shifting to grade-span teaching; new state bills, the presenter said, might prevent Camptonville Elementary from hosting CORE.
Chris Mahurin reported to the board that CORE Charter is planning campus changes and a curricular shift. Mahurin said the organization is "transitioning to 'Grade Spans' for teachers," has acquired three houses across the street and intends to demolish them to build an addition to the campus. He warned that "new proposed bills at the State level" could make it impossible for Camptonville Elementary to host CORE.
The presentation flagged both physical changes (three properties acquired for demolition and construction) and a legislative risk to the school's relationship with the charter. The board received the report but did not take formal action during the meeting. Board members did not propose any directive or vote related to the CORE plan in the transcript.
Why this matters: the changes described would alter land use immediately adjacent to the elementary campus and could affect enrollment, traffic and long-term facility planning. The board did not record a staff recommendation or a timeline for permitting or community engagement on the proposed addition.
