Frontier Charter News Today

Anchorage, Alaska (KINY) - In a ceremony on Friday at the Anchorage School District’s Education Center, five Alaskan schools earned the designation of Alaska Purple Star School for their support of military-connected students and families; this is in addition to the twenty schools who earned this designation last year.

Principals and representatives for Aurora, Ladd, Orion and Ravenwood Elementary schools, as well as Frontier Charter School, were all presented with certificates designating their schools with the recognition.

Some parents feel restricted by the cap, which allows virtual charter schools to begin denying applications once 3% of students in a district are enrolled.

KGW spoke with two online education experts on how parents can help kids transitioning back to remote learning.
