Big things expected for charter school

A new charter school at Riveredge Nature Center inched closer to reality last week as the Town of Saukville Plan Commission looked at rezoning a portion of the center, including its visitor center.

The Riveredge Outdoor Learning Elementary School, or ROLES, is expected to  begin operating through the Northern Ozaukee School District this fall with an enrollment of 68 to 72 students in kindergarten, first and second grades plus a combined third/fourth grade class, Riveredge Executive Director Jessica Jens told the commission.
