We have a newly elected slate of officers on the Coalition Board! In addition, five directors–elected in May–have now been seated on the board. Officer elections took place at the Coalition Board meeting on Thursday, June 18, with new directors seated at that meeting as well.
Here are the officers for 2026-27:
- Chair: Jonathan Bryant, Chief Administrator, Lincoln Charter School
- Vice Chair: Shelly Shope, CEO, Pinnacle Classical Academy
- Secretary: Helen Nance, Chief Administrative Officer, Gray Stone Day School
- Treasurer: Gregg Sinders, Board Member, Pine Springs Preparatory Academy; North Carolina Development Director, Charter One
These are the five newly elected directors, who were seated at the June 18 meeting:

Please join us in welcoming these officers and board members! We’re excited for a great year ahead.
We also want to congratulate Helen Nance on her upcoming retirement from Gray Stone Day School at the end of this month. Helen has been an amazing founder and administrator at Gray Stone Day, and a great leader on the Coalition Board. A number of years ago, Helen chaired the Charter Schools Advisory Board, the forerunner to the Charter Schools Review Board. In addition to her ongoing board service for the Coalition, Helen plans to stay involved at Gray Stone Day as a member of the school’s board.
