Common-Sense Approach • MNPS charter review process utilizes three “lenses” • Quality. Applications must meet NACSA quality standards. • Strategic priorities. Applications should address the school district’s stated needs. • Fiscal impact. Pursuant to TCA 49-13-108(b), applications should not be "contrary to the best interests of the pupils, school district or community.”
