Charter schools of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District are public schools which comply with all Federal and State Laws, as well as Borough Policies, concerning public education and equal opportunity.
The enrollment procedures for Aurora Borealis Charter School are as follows:
- Parents should come to the school office and fill out a lottery application for the upcoming school year. Applications accepted from the first week in September until the first Friday in March at 2pm.
- The Lottery will be held on the second to last Thursday in March.
- During the lottery, each applicant is randomly assigned a lottery number.
- Students are then placed on a waitlist in order of the number they are assigned. (Students drawn from the lottery who are placed on the waitlist remain on the waitlist until they request removal or are placed in a classroom.)
- The lottery results will be available the following week by phone or stopping by the office. Please give time for the data to be processed. Phone calls will be made to anyone who is being offered a position. In April or May, e-mails will be sent to anyone left on the waitlist, notifying them of their waitlist position.
- If there is a vacancy in a classroom, or for kindergarten enrollment, children of full time school employees and siblings of children already enrolled will be selected first to fill the vacancy.
- In the event that vacancies still exist in a class, they are to be filled from the waitlist, beginning with the lowest lottery number. The number of slots available will depend upon each class.
- If there is no waitlist for a specific grade and vacancies exist, students will be enrolled without going through the lottery.
