Minneapolis School Board May Reverse Policy of Not Leasing Facilities to Charters

http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1256560.html

The Minneapolis school board appears to be open to ending the district's longstanding policy of not renting surplus classrooms to charter schools. Initially, district officials are asking permission to lease empty classroom space to one charter school, Oh Day Aki. Five of seven board members said they support or are open to such a lease. The district will sponsor four charter schools next school year, including Oh Day Aki, and may add another in 2008. Board chair Pam Costain said the district needs to learn from the innovations of charters.
