What if teachers ran Minnesota's schools?
Minneapolis is pursuing an education strategy this summer that is a first for Minnesota: It is asking teachers if they want to run a school.Under a new state law, teachers can spearhead the creation of charter-like schools, but under the school district's umbrella. Already being tried in several other states, it's an idea that grew out of the frustration that many schools serving poor students are struggling academically.
