Background:

Next Door Charter School (Next Door) was established as a non-instrumentality charter school beginning with the 2006-2007 school year and is located at 2545 North 29th Street and 5310 W. Capitol Drive. The contract is for up to a maximum of 208 full-time-equivalent (FTE) pupils in grade K4.
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 notified MPS of the non-renewal of the charter school contract at the conclusion of the 2023-24 school year.
On June 21, 2024, Administration received notification of a request to waive Administrative Policy 9.12 and to extend the current contract for one-year for the 2024-25 school year for a max of 208 FTE pupils in grade K4.
