The onboarding process is complete for the Coalition board’s three newest members! This spring, Coalition members elected Garrett McNeill, Michael Way, and Shelly Bullard to the board, along with returning member, Jonathan Bryant, who will serve as chair.
All three new board members are leaders in the broader charter community. We’re grateful for their expertise and leadership as well as their willingness to serve the Coalition and North Carolina’s charter movement.

As a conclusion to the onboarding process, we wanted to share a brief introduction to each of these new members. Garrett McNeill, for instance, is a board member at Sugar Creek Charter School. In addition, he handles real estate acquisition & development for the Movement Foundation. Michael Way is the southeast division president at Charter One. Shelly Bullard is the headmaster at Pinnacle Classical Academy in Shelby, North Carolina. She’s also a member of the North Carolina Charter Schools Advisory Board. All three were elected to serve on the Coalition board through June 2025.
For onboarding, Lindalyn met Garrett on the job site at Movement School Southwest in Charlotte, North Carolina. The K-5 school is opening this fall. Here’s a photo, below.
