Wasioja Valley School as is currently laid out in the CSP grant application is a no go. Last week Wayne Hahn brought a motion at the Goodhue School Board meeting to support WETC chartering this school and no one seconded the motion so it was dead ...

Carl: I have the first several items completed for you with the assumption that I do not have to provide you information for p. 26 and p.54. On my spreadsheet, I hyperlinked the location where you can get file folder #'s for any public school tea...

One more option for PLP's. Efoloio is free to all K12 schools. Might be a nice option as well! http://www.efoliominnesota.com/

Tonight I came across a presentation (it is in wiki format) that I put together in graduate school for my Equity and Social Justice class that outlines my initial thinking about this project. Obviously it has evolved since then:
