8. Common-Sense Approach  MNPS charter review process utilizes three “lenses” 1.Quality. Applications must meet NACSA quality standards. 2.Strategic priorities. Applications should address the school district’s stated needs. 3.Fiscal impact. Pursuant to TCA 49-13-108(b), applications should not be "contrary to the best interests of the pupils, school district or community.”
