53. Charter School Specifics History of Charter Schools minnesota was the first state to establish State Boardof education/State education agencies; State sponsored chartering agencies; http://www.nwrel.org/charter/specifics.html

Charter Schools - Definition and Specifics Definition History Specifics Types of Charter Schools ... Standards Definition The basic charter school concept is encompassed in the idea of " autonomy for accountability ". Charter schools are public schools of choice that are granted a specific amount of autonomy (determined by state law and the local charter) to make decisions concerning the structure, curriculum, and educational emphasis of the school. In return for this autonomy, charter schools are held accountable for the academic achievement of the students in the charter school, and the school faces suspension or closure if accepted performance standards are not met. The charter school typically receives between 85 percent to 95 percent of the public school funds for each student enrolled. Most charter schools are newly established schools, but some are conversion schools-those that previously existed as either public or private schools. Charter schools are as likely to have minority enrollments as other public schools. Charter schools do tend to be smaller than other public schools. Other than these similarities, there are few other generalizations that can be made about charter schools. The variety of curriculum focus is extensive-the sky does not limit the creative endeavors of charter school developers and operators. History of Charter Schools Minnesota was the first state to establish legislation allowing for the creation of charter schools in 1991. Since then, 34 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia have enacted some variation of charter school legislation. As of September 1998 there are more than 1200 charter schools that exist in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Welcome to the A Minnesota non-profit corporation of differently gendered people dedicated to support, advocacy and education. The Gender Education Center provides the opportunity for business, educational institutions, and organizations of all kinds to learn about the transgender community and the Minnesota Human Rights Act. The following services are available: The Gender Education Center (GEC) As more and more transgender people left their closets and homes they found few, if any, safe places and fewer friendly people. Because of our work, thousands of people now have a greater understanding of transgender people. There are more safe places, and more transgender people feel empowered to leave their closets and be a part of our world. Our community is connected to work with each other when group action is needed in human rights. Transgender people also know they are not alone when facing workplace transitions. While there are more leaders in the transgender community, we remain the only nonprofit transgender organization in the upper Midwest working for social change. The Gender Education Center Even though Minnesota has had basic protection in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations for transgender people included in its Human Rights Act since 1993, very few people or organizations understand what this means. When transgender people have good information and know they are not alone, the result is social change. When one transgender employee transitions in a work place, the entire staff learns about tolerance and acting with respect regardless of inner feelings or religious beliefs. Employers learn that this is the law; we challenge management to set good examples.
