Kalispell Public Schools looks to create charter schools
Kalispell Public Schools is pursuing an application to create public charter schools. Flathead High School envisions a charter school with a career path focus and on work-based learning. The district has also discussed the potential for Linderman Education Center and the Agricultural Education Center becoming charter schools.

Kalispell Public Schools plans to apply to the Montana Board of Public for Education for permission to establish public charter schools.
Administrators anticipate that the completed applications will be on the agenda of an Oct. 24 board meeting in order to meet the Nov. 1 deadline.
Currently, Flathead and Glacier high schools are considering a “school within a school” concept, meaning the public charter school would be housed in the existing high schools rather than a separate building. Administrators also brought up the possibility of turning Linderman Education Center, the alternative high school, and the Agricultural Education Center into charter schools.
