LITTLE SCHOLARS
Little Scholars of Arkansas LLC bought two properties in North Little Rock last month -- the LISA Academy charter school building and property on Briley Road.
Each was valued at more than $1 million. The LISA Academy school building sold for $5.3 million. The property on Briley Road, directly behind LISA Academy, sold for $1.1 million.
LISA Academy, which is affiliated with Little Scholars of Arkansas, is a kindergarten-through-12th-grade school with 2,000 students on the waiting list to attend. The building, a former Best Buy store in a Landers Road shopping center, has 45,000 square feet.
LISA Academy wants to use the land on Briley Road to build a $13 million, two-story upper school. WER Architects/Planners of Little Rock designed the building.
Fatih Bogrek, superintendent of LISA Academy charter school, is the registered agent of Little Scholars of Arkansas. The organizer of Little Scholars is Cuneyt Akdemir.
"LISA Academy-North [kindergarten through 12th grade] is stuck all in one building, so to have an effective system and to help meet the demand, we want to expand," Bogrek told the state's Charter Authorizing Panel earlier this year.
Another school official said the school has a 100 percent graduation rate and a high college-acceptance rate.
The panel approved the expansion unanimously, as did the state Board of Education.
The seller of the LISA Academy building was CRM Capital Partners LLC.
The sellers of the property on Briley Road were Brad, Laurie, Scott and Sumi Jolly.
In June, the Arkansas Development Finance Authority issued $20.8 million in charter school capital improvement bonds to help finance the new building.
