Ashley Storms, a spokesperson for Valenta Academy, confirmed to Community Impact that the charter school would not be opening in Bastrop following the denial.
Programming at Valenta Academy was proposed to be based on the two-hour learning model, which provides students with personalized lessons each morning for two hours—allowing them more time in the afternoon for hands-on, community-focused projects, according to the academy brochure.
