Building a Charter School Building

I ran across Mary Lang's book Building a Charter School Building: Creative Financing Options (PDF) (c) 2003 based on her experiences building the Moscow Charter School. Mary & MCS pioneered new ground in Idaho, creating both the first Charter school and then developing mechanisms to secure financing for a school building -- something not initially addressed in the Idaho Charter School legislation.

Of course this is a timely read for PPSEL as we are just entering the beginning of the process to secure a facility for the school. While the book is about building a facility, I expect that PPSEL will start by leasing something until we have financing stable enough, and time enough, to build something to suit our vision. ~Nils
