(North Dakota Monitor) – The Department of Public Instruction is encouraging North Dakotans to comment on rules for the state’s new public charter school policy ahead of a December hearing.

The public hearing for the new rules is Dec. 2 at the Capitol. The rules provide details and guidance as advocates develop plans for charter schools.

“We look forward to the public and legislative review of these proposed regulations,” State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler said. “They provide the transparency and accountability for charter schools that North Dakota’s traditional public schools already have.”

The Department of Public Instruction must hold one public interview with each public charter school applicant, according to the rules.
