This new organization, a cooperative venture of Education/Evolving and the Office of Choice and Innovation in the Minnesota Department of Education, is designed to improve the quality of charter sponsoring. While the Network is of greatest relevance to Minnesota’s charter authorizers and schools, the new Web site also includes resources that could be used or adapted by authorizers, education officials, charter leaders and others in all states with charter school laws. Developers hope that the Minnesota Sponsor Assistance Network will serve as a model for similar capacity building and quality enhancement initiatives in other states.
