Background:
|
Next Door Charter School (Next Door), serving students at 2545 North 29th Street and 5310 W. Capitol Drive, was established as a non-instrumentality charter school beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. The contract is for up to a maximum of 208 full-time-equivalent (FTE) pupils in grades K4 and K5.
Next Door’s mission is to support the intellectual, spiritual, and emotional development of children so that they can become self-sufficient, contributing members of the community. Next Door’s vision is to support the development of young children so that they may become confident, independent, and pro-social learners.
On November 17, 2022, Administration received a request to modify grades and notify MPS of the non-renewal of the charter school contract at the conclusion of the 2023-24 school year.
On January 19, 2023, Administration received notification of a change in leadership at Next Door Charter School. Attached to this item is a copy of the correspondences along with the mutually agreed upon contract amendments to reflect the change in leadership and the grades served during the 2023-24 school year. |
