Animas HS Approved by the Charter School Institute

Today the Animas High School charter application was approved by the Charter School Institute board. Animas HS will be modeled after the successful High Tech High in San Diego, California. The school will start with ninth grade and add a grade level each year. It'll be located in Durango. The Durango 9-R school district didn't get exclusive chartering authority this year when they didn't meet the filing deadline.
