YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

IDAHO FALLS -- A new charter school will be housed inside a historic Idaho Falls building.

On Thursday the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation approved the grant for Alturas International Academy, a new charter school that is quickly gaining a footing in the community. The grant will help secure the O.E. Bell building on North Ridge Avenue as a permanent home for the school.

“Charter schools, they can’t do levies, they can’t get funds to build buildings, so this is an incredible thing that (the foundation) is involved in,” head teacher Michelle Ball said.

In addition, O.E. Bell is being purchased for Alturas by a nonprofit organization, Building Hope.

Building Hope focuses on serving and charter schools and facility development. Building Hope is overlooking the remodel of O.E. Bell to bring it back to a schooling standard.
