(Alabama)- The Alabama Public Charter School Commission said Monday that Freedom Prep, a charter school slated to open in Birmingham this fall, missed a deadline to meet its enrollment numbers for the coming school year.
In a June meeting, the commission approved an amendment to the school’s charter contract that included changes to the enrollment plan and facilities.
Logan Searcy, the executive director of the commission, said during Monday’s meeting that the school has nearly 50 students enrolled. It needs 80 students to meet requirements.
“They have not reached the reduced number for 80% enrollment that the commission approved they did not reach it by the due date, which was July 15,” she said. “So I’m just informing the commission that that enrollment number was not reached.”
