The Kalispell Public Schools (KPS) Board of Trustees will consider applications for one or more charter schools to be opened within the district at its Oct. 24 meeting. If approved by the board, the applications will head to the Montana Board of Public Education, where they will be approved or denied by early 2024.
At a Tuesday night school board meeting, district administrators presented a handful of loose proposals for the creation of new charter schools within KPS, including the creation of a “school within a school” at Glacier High School, or turning Linderman Education Center or the Agricultural Education Center into a charter school.
