overview

On October 15, 2018, Huntersville Commissioners established the Huntersville Educational Options Study Commission. This commission is established to:

  • Evaluate options available to the Town of Huntersville to reduce overcrowding within the public school system in Huntersville.
  • Study five potential education options:
    1) Operate a stand-alone municipal charter school.
    2) Establish a municipal sponsored charter by partnering with a new or existing charter school.
    3) Partner with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for a new school or expansion of an existing school.
    4) The feasibility of dividing the Charlotte Mecklenburg LEA into smaller LEAs.
    5) Do nothing.
  • The Study Commission shall conduct due diligence to gather facts and information for each option.
  • Within the first thirty (30) days of its existence, the Study Commission shall conduct a survey to gather general input from the Huntersville community with regards to education in Huntersville.
  • The Study Commission shall use the information gathered, and, through a deliberative process, prioritize the options studied, taking into account financial and legal feasibility, effectiveness to reduce overcrowding of schools in Huntersville, efficiency, and ease of implementation.
  • At the conclusion of its prioritization of the options studied, and before making its final report to the Town Board of Commissioners, the Study Commission shall design and implement a process to educate and receive feedback from the Huntersville community and the key stakeholders identified by the Commission as to the Commission’s prioritization of the five (5) options studied. 
  • The Study Commission shall make a Final Report to the Town Board of Commissioners summarizing its work and findings, and presenting its prioritization of the five (5) options studied.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Commission from making interim reports and gathering feedback from the Town Board of Commissioners prior to completing its Final Report.
  • The Commission shall terminate on April 30, 2019, or upon the presentation of its Final Report to the Town Board of Commissioners, whichever occurs first.
