Charter school looking to move from Wright

A semester after parents resisted the arrival of Bright Star Academy at their Westchester middle school, the charter school is looking for a new home.

But if Bright Star can't find a new school site for the fall, the charter could return to Wright Middle School, said Jeff Hilger, executive director.

The group wants to consolidate its three campuses at one location in the Adams-La Brea neighborhood of Los Angeles, where many of the students live, Hilger said.

"If we can get closer to home, that's our preference," Hilger said. "Our plan is to buy a building that can house 1,000 kids."
