Activity Or MissionMinneapolis Academy is the first independent college preparatory middle school in Minneapolis, providing children from all walks of life and of all abilities with an educational opportunity that is generally not available to most lower-income and working class families. Founded by educators and community leaders in 2004, the Academy's primary mission is to provide all of its students with the knowledge, skills and character to graduate from High School, and the confidence to continue on and successfully complete their post-secondary education. The Academy will accomplish this through a college preparatory educational program based on high expectations, rigorous academic performance, more time on task, and a safe and orderly environment driven by high standards of personal conduct and respect for others.ActivityOrMissionDesc

Prior Period Adjustment due to change in Accounting PrincipleThe School implemented two new accounting standards (GASB 68 and 71) for the year ended June 30, 2015 which required recognition of the schools proportionate share of the unfunded pension liability. As a charter school in the state of Minnesota, participation in two multiple-employer, cost-sharing defined benefit pension plans is statutorily required. The schools contributions to the plans are also regulated by statute and are based on a percentage of salaries and wages earned by current employees. Therefore, while the Net Pension Liability is reported on the schools Statement of Net Position, the school is not in a position to directly control the liability or the subsequent liquidation of the liability.
Related Board MembersPer MN Statute 124D.10, Charter Schools are required to have licensed teachers as members of the Board of Directors. Angela Halama was a Board Member, but received compensation for her services as a Teacher.
