Two more groups win approval to sponsor Minn. charter schools

Tom Weber:

Two more groups have won state approval to sponsor charter schools in Minnesota.

Authorizers don't actually run charters but a new law requires them to be more involved in the fiscal and academic oversight of the schools they sponsor. It also requires every current authorizer to re-apply to maintain their status.

The two newly-approved groups are the Northfield School District and Audubon Center of the North Woods. Northfield currently sponsors two charter schools, while Audubon is the state's largest authorizer with 23.
