#PublicSchools likely cannot condition enrollment on voter registration, but private schools have the freedom to set such a requirement ... a Jewish school is requiring parents to prove they are registered to vote.

Any idea how many charter schools are in #MN01 ?

The Winona-area, Rochester-area, Faribault, La Crescent, Mankato, Nerstrand, ... so less than a dozen

How many rural areas do not have ANY charter or religious schools ?
