COAL CREEK CANYON, Colo. — In just three weeks, parents at Coal Creek Canyon's K-8 school raised over $500,000 to secure the opening of a charter school in their community.
Gregg was one of several parents organizing fund-raising efforts. Parents helped the charter school secure several grants from the state Department of Education and the private Daniels fund. Coal Creek Canyon parents raise over half a million dollars to open charter school "It was incredible how the community came together and made this happen," said Gregg.
