Minnesota_Primer.pdf The Minnesota Special Education Primer is divided into two parts - a Sponsor Primer and a Director Primer. Each section covers important information related to special education in charter schools during all the life stages of a charter school.
Authorizers:
MN charter law allows numerous agents-- local boards, intermediate school boards, public and private post-secondary institutions, and the State Board, upon appeal-- to authorize an unlimited number of charter schools.
Length of charter:
3
Caps on number of schools:
none
Funding:
General purpose funding for charter schools may be less than funding for other public schools because charters do not have bonding authority and do not receive excess local levy aid. They do, however, receive funds to partially defray the cost of leasing school space. Charter schools are publicly funded.
