Charter schools with environment-focused and project-based programs are springing up across the nation. In response, the Wisconsin Charter Schools Association (WCSA), Minnesota Association of Charter Schools, Audubon Center of the North Woods, and EdVisions Cooperative and Conserve School are sponsoring a one-day conference on July 13 for developers and operators of "green," environment-focused charter schools. Presenters include charter school leaders and leading environmental educators. For more information, or to join a growing network of people interested in fostering the creation of "green" charter schools, email your name and contact information to sennb@charter.net.
