Posted on Fri, May. 09, 2008
PALM COAST, Fla. --
Imagine Schools, one of the largest and fastest growing charter
school organizations in the nation, will break ground on its new 44
classroom, 43,220 square foot K-8 School in Flagler County on May 14
at 9:00 a.m. At a time when funding cuts in education are limiting
public educational resources, the non-profit organization is building
this new $8-10 million facility at no cost to the taxpayer. The
groundbreaking ceremony will take place in the new Town Center
development just west of I-95 on the north side of Palm Coast Highway
at 775 Town Center Blvd., Palm Coast, FL 32964.
Flagler Schools Superintendent Bill Delbrugge will welcome Imagine
Schools and Principal Jason LaFrance. Imagine's unique educational
environment provides a private school quality education for any
student that wishes to attend and gives the parents of Flagler County
another choice. The Flagler School Board was instrumental in bringing
this option to families, and the Board continues to work in
partnership with Imagine Schools every step of the way.
In keeping with its commitment to create a true community school,
Imagine Schools is working with Palm Coast Holdings and other local
contractors to fulfill development needs. The school will be on the
cutting edge of education and design with clustered classes,
individual internal restrooms, secure courtyards and infrastructure
for computers, wireless, smart boards, LCD TV and projector
connections all planned.
