The grants made to charters by the Minneapolis Foundation are somewhat obfuscated by the method it uses to fund them. It creates and virtually controls local organizations such as the now-defunct Charter School Partners and its replacement Minnesota Comeback, whose function is to direct Walton Family Foundation charter school startup grants in the state.

Surprisingly, even the authors profess not to know the answer to this question. The only thing certain about the proposed amendment is that it will empower courts and throw districts, parents and others into constant legal battles.
