Original Research by School Decision on School of Leaders for Ps Secondary
School of Leaders for PS Secondary is listed as closed, and its associated district, School of Leadership for Public Service, is not active according to the Minnesota Department of Education. This means the school is no longer an enrollment option for families in Saint Paul.
The school was a charter school, and its parent district was a small, single-school authorizing body. Publicly reported accounts indicate that the School of Leadership for Public Service was a new charter school that planned to open in Saint Paul in fall 2022, initially serving middle school grades with a focus on careers in public service. It was authorized by the Minnesota Guild of Public Charter Schools and intended to expand to a preK–12 grade range over time.
Because the school is closed, no academic performance data, such as state test results or a graduation rate, are available. The school served only a middle school grade band, so even if it had been operating, state testing data may not have applied depending on the specific tested grades involved. Enrollment numbers, student demographics, and staffing figures are also absent from the record.
The school was located in Saint Paul, Minnesota's capital and second-largest city. Families in Saint Paul live in a diverse, government-anchored urban environment with a mix of dense residential neighborhoods, cultural institutions such as the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Ordway Center, and several professional sports venues. State government is the dominant employer, and Ramsey County government is also a major presence. The city has a noted park system and sits on the Mississippi River, with public transit including bus and light rail connecting to Minneapolis.
For residents who were considering this charter, the school is no longer active. Other public school options in Saint Paul include Saint Paul Public Schools, the city's main district, as well as other charter schools that remain open. A parent looking into this school should confirm its closed status with the Minnesota Department of Education and explore alternative schools that meet their student's needs.
