This Thurs. Summit Public Schools (SPS) will host a public info session about the new charter school that's slated to open in West Seattle in the fall of 2016.

The school will serve grades 6-12.

During the first part of the hour-long session, SPS will provide a brief presentation about its charter school model, mission and the results it has achieved so far.

The rest of the meeting will be an open feedback discussion. Brittany Alvarez, startup operations coordinator at SPS said she's eager to know what West Seattle wants in a school.

"We want to get input from the community," she said. "What they need from a charter school, and their ideas and interests."

The meeting will take place on Thurs. Feb. 26 at the Southwest Branch of the Seattle Public Library from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
