Gray Collegiate Expands Fast Through Loopholes | Columbia News

Gray Collegiate Academy in South Carolina just launched a brand-new elementary school in just six months—by calling it a “satellite” campus, they dodged the usual approval hurdles. Since the state’s Charter Schools Act doesn’t define “satellite,” they slipped past local district notifications and avoided new-school red tape. This isn’t their first rodeo—they’ve used this loophole twice before. A recent rule change requiring applications for campuses over a mile away didn’t catch up to them, since this Columbia campus was already in motion. And they’re not done: Gray’s eyeing even more expansions across the state, making this move just the opening salvo in a fast-growing strategy.
