Charter Champions

The MN Association of Charter Schools Champion Award is designed to recognize the contribution of individuals who have championed the cause of charter schools in Minnesota's government.

The Award

A champion is someone who defends a principle and/or stands up for the rights of others.

The MN Association of Charter Schools Champion Award acknowledges and honors those who have played an important role in defending the principles of innovative education and the charter school law, and/or standing up for the rights of charter schools and their teachers, students, and community members as part of the charter school movement in Minnesota. In other words - people who have been champions for "Unleashing Education from Convention."
