MACS 2026 Charter School Day At The Capitol
Join charter school staff, students, and families for a powerful day of advocacy at the MACS 2026 Charter School Day At The Capitol. This annual event is an invaluable opportunity to meet directly with your legislators, share your school’s story, and elevate the needs of Minnesota’s chartered public schools.
MACS will coordinate all legislative meeting schedules and provide participating schools with clear guidance, training, and one-pagers to help you feel confident and prepared. To ensure every school has access to limited meeting slots, participation is capped at five representatives per school, and groups may be paired with others from their district.
Throughout the day, MACS will host a resource and training space with guest speakers, "Grassroots Lobbying 101," and support to help you refine your message. A "What to Expect" session will be available beforehand to walk through logistics and outreach tips.
More details and registration information will follow in the coming weeks. Mark your calendars—we hope to see you there!

Click here to register for Charter School Day At The Capitol. The deadline to register is Friday, February 6, 2026. Contact Shannon with questions.
