On the subject of schools. Here is an article on one of the cities Charter Schools?
Anyone care to share any feedback or personal experiences with any of our cities Charter Schools? (Some parents are "shopping" for schools right now - any information would be helpful).

ST. PAUL SCHOOLS: HOPE ACADEMY: Management plan upsets parents http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/local/7803888.htm BY JOHN WELBES
"A plan for a management change at Hope Academy, a Hmong-focused charter school in St. Paul, is causing a rift between parents and the school's board of directors.
The East Side school ended its contract with the for-profit Edison Schools company last year and is set to hire an executive director. But parents are worried that won't translate into more money for classroom programs and that the management change undercuts the school's current director, Maychy Vu."
"What: A meeting between an ad hoc committee
of leaders at Hope Academy and parents
to discuss the plan to hire an executive
director.When: 6 p.m. today
Where: Hope Academy, 720 Payne Ave., St. Paul"
