Former Oklahoma City Thunder player Enes Kanter intends to open a charter school in the metro area.

Kanter, who now plays for the Boston Celtics, has informed Oklahoma City Public Schools of his plan to open the Enes Kanter School for Exceptional Learning. Kanter notified the school district in a letter, first obtained by The Frontier.

Kanter and a team of “civic-minded individuals” from Oklahoma City will submit an official charter school application to the school district on Tuesday. The application would come before the Oklahoma City School Board for a vote.

Kanter and his partners haven’t chosen a location for the charter school, but their goal is to choose a site where “the need is high,” according to the letter.
