The mission of the MACS Public Policy Committee is to promote the adoption of legislation that promotes public school choice, enhances the effective operation, and assures quality and accountability of charter schools in Minnesota.
The process for developing the MACS Public Policy agenda begins with issues and ideas generated from the membership and other organizations that are part of the charter school community.
To accomplish this mission, the Public Policy Committee will develop principles to guide all public policy positions of the Association, develop the annual MACS legislative agenda for approval by the Board and ratification by the membership, and develop goals and initiatives for communicating the legislative agenda with policymakers, the public, and with members.
Significant public policy issues may from time to time require a policy statement outlining the history, philosophy and rationale of the policy stance.
