Daily News | The Radnor school board denied another proposed charter at Valley Forge Military Academy
The Radnor Township School Board has denied an application for a military-themed charter school that was seeking to open on the grounds of Valley Forge Military Academy — saying it wasn’t clear that the charter had an agreement to use the academy’s facilities.
The school board noted that the Radnor planning commission recently considered an application for a 55-and-older community to be located on the academy’s campus, raising questions about what space would be available for the charter. That plan — which would transfer 33 acres of unused land to a developer — is separate from the proposed charter, and neither plan for the campus would affect VFMA’s operations, Packer said. She said that had the charter been approved, “buildings on the campus... would be rented by the company running the charter school,” and directed further questions to the charter applicants.
The charter said it would feature a “military culture” and enroll 975 students from kindergarten through 12th grade — about four times as many students as are currently on the campus.
