Millenium Charter is expanding

Hamish Tyler, director of the Media Center for Arts Education and Technology at the Monterey County Office of Education says the Millennium Charter School is not moving out of MCOE. It's just expanding into Sherwood Hall near the Salinas Sports Complex.

"There will always be 58 students here," at MCOE, Tyler said.

But with an incoming class of another 58 students, the freshmen and sophomores already housed at the MCOE campus of Millennium were feeling the squeeze. That's already 100 some students at MCOE, and capacity was becoming an issue.

Millennium's much touted studios will remain where they are, and Millennium students will use them as needed. By expanding capacity, the studios will also be available to students of the home charter program and other programs managed by MCOE, Tyler said.

"It really is a win-win," Tyler said.
