Menu of services The process of creating a charter school is daunting at best – in fact it is truly an adventure in all the best and worst meaning of the term. Each founding group will bring to the table a unique vision supported by various resources. It is not possible to accurately generalize about a specific founding group’s needs as they develop their applications. MCSN has identified a menu of services from which each client school’s founders can select based on their needs. MCSN offers workshops and webinars, small group, and individual support, training and technical assistance as well as professional referrals for hands on assistance in writing the charter application and implementing the school’s start-up.
