CHARLOTTESVILLE (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Charlottesville City Schools, in collaboration with the City of Charlottesville, has submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Education to acquire the Federal Executive Institute campus at 1201 Emmet Street North to house a centralized preschool and division administration offices. A city schools release says these uses would free up other CCS properties for expansion of the division’s alternative-education programming and programs to serve students with special needs. In mid-March, the schools learned that the 14-acre site at was available for acquisition by an educational institution within the City, via the Federal Real Property Assistance Program (FRPAP). If the division’s application is accepted, CCS would have the opportunity to acquire the property at a reduced or no cost through the Public Benefit Allowance discount for educational purposes.
