Charter Schools Update

Other Points of View on Charter Schools

We received letters from Senators David Durenberger (R-MN) and Paul David Wellstone (DFL-MN) requesting that we publish the views of students and parents from the Toivola-Meadowlands, Minnesota, Charter Schools. The students wrote a "Letter to the Editor" in response to the original report on Charter Schools, and we interviewed for this update two parents who have been involved in the school.
