Charter School


The new charter school is a great idea. Quality schools are essential to help lead the redevelopment of the Heart of Peoria.

Tuesday July 7th at 10:00 am at the Peoria NEXT Innovation Center at 801 Main Street in Peoria there will be a media event announcing the formation of the Peoria Charter School Initiative (PCSI). This combined group of business leaders, educators and citizens, led by former Caterpillar Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Glen Barton, hopes to establish the first charter public school in Peoria.
