Montgomery Flex Charter School wants to open in the Hillcrest Shopping Center, serving students in grades seven to 12
By tomorrow night, North Penn School District parents and students will know whether or not a charter school is coming to the district. The school board will vote on the application of Montgomery Flex Charter School, which looks to open at Hillcrest Shopping Center in Lansdale Borough. At present, there are 75 students on the pre-enrollee list. “This is far beyond my expectations for how many would be interested at this time, so we are off to a great start,” said Tim Sager, founder of Charter Initiatives Inc. and director of school development at k12 Inc. If the school board denies the application, Sager said in an e-mail that the effort to bring a charter school to the district would continue. “If it is a ‘yes,’ we will continue to work …

Pointed questions from the school board and varying public opinion highlight Wednesday night's school board meeting
If Montgomery Flex is going to succeed in their plan to place a charter school within the North Penn School District, then it's going to have to address quite a few of the questions which went unanswered during Wednesday night's public hearing. The group plans to install a charter school by the summer of 2012 within the Hillcrest Shopping Center on East Main Street in Lansdale. The 34,000-square-foot location is the same site where Clemens Market and SuperFresh once stood. Tim Sager, a former teacher who is leading the push for the charter school, began the hearing with a public presentation in which he praised North Penn School District for being able to make the most out of what he referred to as an "inefficient model." "North Penn is a…

LANSDALE – Tim Sager is nothing, if not a cheerleader, for the Montgomery Flex Charter School. As consultant to the school, he aims to drive home the message to parents that Montgomery Flex is the alternative they have been seeking for their children’s education. Sager did as much at an information meeting Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran Church about the proposed charter school; he implored a small group of parents to show their support at a meeting of the North Penn School Board on Thursday, when the fate of the school will be decided. To make his point he stressed the differences between a student’s experience at one of the district’s “behemoth” middle and high schools, and the charter school’s “more personalized environment,” with an …

@Sean C. I've driven by the property and it appears they haven't done a single thing. There's actually a "For Lease" sign in the window, so I'd guess the deal fell through. Pretty poor job by the town / the local reporters though to not even put out a press release about this. I was very excited for this project, as were a ton of my friends, but sadly it seems that it's not going to come to … more ›
