Charter School Support

An Approved Charter School Authorizer

Northfield Public Schools has a long history of supporting public school choice within the District. In that spirit, Northfield Public Schools serves as a Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) approved charter school authorizer. Charter schools create a contract with the district and seek reauthorization on a regular basis. We strive to collaborate and share resources throughout the district.
