LOWELL -- After failing to move into a permanent location on Middlesex Street last fall, the Lowell Collegiate Charter School will again have to postpone its move there this fall as sale negotiations for the site have stalled and it has run out of time for construction.

The charter school, operated by SABIS Educational Systems, plans to renew its lease for another year at the Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church on Father John Sarantos Way, The Sun has learned.

The school will settle for another year there because construction at the former Bradford Industries warehouse site will not be completed by the beginning of the school year. That site, 1857 Middlesex St., in the Highlands section of Lowell, is slated to be the eventual permanent home of the school.

"The Lowell Collegiate board of trustees and its representatives are in the midst of facility negotiations and it would not be appropriate to comment at this time," according to a statement from Jose Afonso, SABIS Educational Systems' director of business development. "As soon as we're able to disclose additional information, we will do so."

The Lowell Collegiate Charter School initially planned to move to the permanent Middlesex Street site for the 2013-2014 school year. However, those plans were stalled a year ago because of delays in approvals from the city, Afonso said a year ago.

Planning Board members delayed voting on the project to seek more information about the effect the school would have on traffic. Neighborhood groups opposed the project because of concern about the traffic impact on an intersection that was already rated one of the worst in the state -- Wood and Middlesex streets.

Afonso said a year ago he thought the approvals would be granted in February. The final approval came on March 4, 2013, which Afonso said wasn't enough time to construct a 45,000-square-foot building for fall 2013.

Now with sale negotiations taking longer than expected, the Lowell Collegiate Charter School will not move to Middlesex Street for the 2014-2015 school year. The charter school's board and the owners of Bradford Industries on Middlesex Street have been unable to reach an agreement on the property's cost.

Lowell charter school's move postponed over stalled negotiations

Members of an Owensboro church will remember the destruction of their house of worship. It was a year ago today that First Christian Church burned down after a lightning strike.

"That was a pretty bad night that night," says Bobby Austin, who lives across the street from the site of the fire. He used to hear First Christian Church from home

"I really enjoyed hearing the church bells every Sunday," he says. But not anymore.

"An empty lot and wind. That's about it," Austin adds.

A year later, very little stands at the corner of 7th and J.R. Miller Blvd.

"I've been looking at that church for so long. It's actually kind of weird now," says Austin.

A sign, rocks, and a little foundation. All that's left after the fire leveled the church last March.

"The scope of the fire was really incredible. The heat of the blaze, the smell of it, the sights and sounds," says First Christian Pastor Jacob Caldwell. "I often look at it, and i still can't believe this happened."

Caldwell, a man of faith, is still in disbelief a year later.

"Certainly, on the day of that fire, we were in the valley of dry bones, and we wondered what hope was there, and we were really in a difficult place on that day," he says.
