The KPBSD Administration confidently recommends the renewal of the Aurora Borealis Charter School for a 10-year term. ABC has consistently demonstrated:

  • Fiscal Responsibility: The school maintains a financially sound structure, ensuring stable operations and the capacity to fulfill its educational mission.
  • Commitment to Sustainability: ABC has established a sustainable model poised to serve the needs of future students and families.
  • Academic Excellence: The school meets or surpasses KPBSD's rigorous academic standards, reflecting commitment to high-quality education.

This renewal supports our district's goals by continuing to provide families with a choice in education that aligns with KPBSD's values and academic expectations.
