RESOURCES

All of the internal resources that Stenmark uses to perform our services are based entirely on the Uniform Financial Accounting and Reporting Standards created by the Minnesota Department of Education. Our internal system has been customized to reflect the UFARS accounting structure and has been officially approved by the State of Minnesota during an on-site testing of all functions. The required uploads of the UFARS data come directly from our internal system to retain compliance throughout the process.

Aside from UFARS, there are many other resources available for students, teachers, researchers, board members, parents, etc. The sites listed below represent organizations that we have found to be very helpful in providing good information on charter school issues and further research.
