THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Aurora Public Schools and DSST are planning a second Aurora Science & Tech 6–12 STEM campus serving about 1,000 students in Aurora Highlands. Funding will blend APS certificates of participation (~$34M), DSST equity ($2.5M for AST1), and about $8M in additional philanthropy, with claims that AST2 will save APS over $50,000 per seat versus a ground‑up build. The plan includes industry partnerships, STEM labs, internships, and certificate programs, with fundraising and planning in SY25‑26 and SY26‑27 and school opening in SY27‑28 with 6th grade. Facilities planners, capital project managers, architects, STEM lab providers, EdTech vendors, and fundraising consultants can engage now around design, technology, and industry partnership structures while funding and implementation plans are still being shaped.
Presentation frames AST2 as APS Board-approved charter expansion with annual fundraising and school-creation updates to the APS Board.
