# Athlos Academy of St. Cloud
*School named in one at-issue pair of the Stearns package: enrollment decline, closure, and an unconfirmed lease-aid question.*
Athlos Academy of St. Cloud is the subject of one at-issue pair in the project's Stearns package, AI-Stearns-045. The pair records three facts about the school: it occupied an 87,000-square-foot facility, its enrollment fell from 651 to 248, and it closed. The school's name places it in [[St. Cloud]]. The pair gives no address.[^1]
The pair also records an open question. It is unconfirmed whether the school's lease aid flowed to a related-party building corporation. The pair says this is the structure the [[Legislative Auditor]] described in 2003. It names lease-aid filings and Form 990s as the records that would answer the question. The project's record contains neither.[^1]
## Who
The at-issue record lists the school's landlord as unknown. It names no school officials, operators, or officers of any building corporation. It does not establish that a related-party building corporation existed for this school. It records only that whether lease aid flowed to such an entity is unconfirmed.[^1]
## What
According to the pair, the school occupied an 87,000-square-foot facility. The open question concerns its lease aid. The pair asks whether that aid was paid to a related-party building corporation, the arrangement the Legislative Auditor described in 2003.[^1]
## When
The pair dates the Legislative Auditor's description of the building-corporation structure to 2003. It gives no dates for the enrollment figures or for the closure.[^1]
## How many
The pair states that enrollment fell from 651 to 248. It does not say over which years.[^1]
## In the at-issue record
- **Stearns package, AI-Stearns-045 (rank 45):** The pair sets three facts side by side:
- the school's 87,000-square-foot facility;
- its enrollment fall from 651 to 248;
- its closure.
It sets these against an unconfirmed question: whether the school's lease aid flowed to a related-party building corporation of the kind the Legislative Auditor described in 2003.[^1]
The project lists the White House presidential action *Restoring Integrity to America's Financial System* as the anchor for the pair, with the annotation "follow the landlord, find the payment stream".[^2] The annotation is the project's own. It is not a statement in the presidential action, and the action is not a source for facts about the school.[^2]
