BAKER, La. (AP) - The old Baker Wal-Mart will reopen in August as Advantage Charter Academy.

The charter school is part of Louisiana Achievement Charter Academies, a small network of schools that, for now, only includes one other location - Willow Charter Academy in Lafayette, also set for an August opening.

The Advocate reports (https://bit.ly/1d3adOP ) the LACA board met Monday in Baton Rouge to approve the number of seats it will open for application at both schools and its admissions and enrollment policy.



The nonprofit board partnered with National Heritage Academies, a Michigan-based charter school management company that will operate the schools in Lafayette and Baker.

At Advantage Charter, there will be 464 seats offered while at Willow Charter in Lafayette, a total of 492 seats will be offered.
