Background:

The Alliance School was established as an instrumentality charter school beginning with the 2005-2006 school year. Alliance is located at 850 West Walnut Street. The current contract is for up to a maximum of 360 full-time-equivalent (FTE) pupils in grades 9 through 12.
Alliance’s mission is to provide a safe, student-centered, and academically challenging environment to meet the needs of all students.
On January 27, 2022, the Board approved a three-year renewal for Alliance and authorized the Administration, in collaboration with the Board’s Designee and the Office of the City Attorney, to begin contract negotiations with representatives from The Alliance School, Inc.
In February 2022, representatives from The Alliance School, Inc., the MPS Office of Board Governance, the Office of the City Attorney and the MPS Administration reviewed and negotiated the proposed modifications to the model instrumentality charter school contract and agreed to the attached redline contract.
Contingent upon the Board’s approval, The Alliance School, Inc. accepts the attached instrumentality charter contract with the modifications as outlined in the attachments to this item.
