The board discussed the following questions:
The board agreed that increasing the student body or having athletic fields will require the acquisition of new space. The board also agreed that it wants to acquire data about the price of 688 Grant Street and whether APS would be willing to sell it to ANCS and potential options for new real estate in the Zone 1 attendance zone that ANCS could explore.
The board discussed how much demand exist for a pre-K program and a high school. Board members discussed whether it could receive data from School Mint about who is applying to attend ANCS and what schools students attend when they graduate from ANCS. Board members raised questions about how adding additional capacity to the student body might negatively impact the diversity at ANCS.
No vote was presented or taken pertaining to any discussion topic.
