New Outer Banks School in Corolla?

A Group of concerned parents are interested in starting a new school in Corolla, North Carolina. 

Corolla is one of the most thriving towns on the Outer Banks, and it has not had a school since 1957.  The old schoolhouse is located close to the Currituck Lighthouse and serves as the headquarters and a museum for the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. 

A committee of parents has formed a plan to start a new school, which will most likely be a North Carolina Charter School.  The group will be looking for support and ideas at a public meeting, which will take place May 17^th.  If everything works out, the group will select a board, start a nonprofit, apply to the state charter office in February 2010 and, if accepted, open in the fall of 2011.  Many members of this group hold undergraduates and graduate degrees with a background in nonprofit companies.  Currituck County currently sends a 40 passenger bus to pick up three children.
