The town council has formally rejected the rezoning request for the Cardinal Charter Academy site at Yates Store and New Hope Church Roads. This decision effectively ends the proposal and protects our local infrastructure from the anticipated traffic impact. We will continue to monitor future development filings for this parcel …

We, residents of Amberly, Carolina Preserve, Weldon Ridge, Cary Park, et al. oppose the proposed Cardinal Charter Academy to be located at Yates Store and New Hope Church Roads. This school anticipates enrolling 2000 students who will not be served by public transportation resulting in traffic congestion and higher risk of traffic accidents in this area. Additionally, charter schools siphon taxpayer funds from public education leaving our traditional public schools to cope with reduced funding for their children’s public education. The unacceptable result is public school students don’t have equal educational opportunities and resources than charter school students. For these reasons we strongly oppose rezoning to allow Cardinal Charter Academy to locate and open at Yates Store and New Hope Church Roads.

We are approaching five hundred signatures and need to reach this threshold before I present our formal objection to the zoning board. Please circulate this petition link to your immediate neighborhood groups to ensure we have the necessary backing for that meeting.

It is not appropriate to build such large non-traditional public school in the middle of residential communities. This will cause a lot of morning and afternoon traffic to the residents around this area. Such school should be build at the area that is off the main road, where does not impact community daily life so heavily.
My daughter went there for 1 1/2 years and hated it. We felt that she wasn't learning or thriving their and now is doing amazing back in WCPSS. This will cause A LOT of traffic as there is no busing. The traffic was horrible at the current location of the school.
My kids are in a charter school with less than 600 students currently. The morning drop off and afternoon pick takes long time although the school is next to a major high way. A school of 2000 students will bring TOO much traffic to the community. We don’t have the capability to accept the 2000 students school.
I strongly oppose taxpayer funds being taken from public schools to fund for-profit charter schools. Taxpayer funds should be used to support and improve public education for all students not just those whose families can afford charter schools.
I oppose this for 2 main reasons. 1 - Without provided transportation, this will cause an immense amount of traffic in the area. 2 - This school proposal went from a church sponsored private school to a for-profit charter school, funded by our tax dollars.
Pls keep our community safe, thanks
School should stay where the original zone is, and be smaller than 800 students.

I cannot support the rezoning for a 2000-person school located off a dead-end road, surrounded and accessed only by 2- lane neighborhood roads. This is not feasible and would disrupt the quality of the surrounding neighborhoods and is not meeting an unmet need at this time.
