In all decisions made by the Vibrant Minds Charter School Board, School Site Council, F.A.S.T., and the staff, we prioritize what is best for our scholars. Even in the face of our school's closure due to COVID-19, we excelled. We had to close our doors on Friday, March 13, 2020, but we had a fully implemented distance learning program on Monday, March 16, 2020. This rapid transition was possible in our small school setting where we worked together as adults to focus on the reason for our school's existence -- our scholars. We deeply believe in the power of co-creation where the parents, staff, and Board work together to make a difference in our scholars' lives. There is no room for a hierarchical approach to independent and innovative change and service. At Vibrant Minds Charter School, all voices are heard, all ideas are respected, and all actions are scholar-focused.
