The purpose of this study is to provide suggestions to restructure a public school system by clarifying the mechanism and the actual condition of a charter school (CS) evaluation by a sponsor. This is a case study of "Parents, Allied with Children and Teachers" (PACT) CS and Bethel University (BU) as a sponsor in Minnesota. Three points were clarified in this paper. First, twenty-nine CSs have been closed in Minnesota so far because of the competitive environment among urban and suburban schools. Second, the case study shows that three factors have made PACT successful. Concretely speaking: 1) The teacher came from BU to PACT as a liaison and attended all board meetings at PACT. 2) PACT teachers have been able to share problems by making a detailed school evaluation report. 3) PACT realized improvements through the accreditation of AdvancED, the third party evaluators. Third, BU found out through its evaluation of PACT that: 1) The self-evaluation sheet developed by BU, concerning the development of school organization, is very valuable. 2) The self-evaluation, critical friend visits, and school improvement plans have an organizational relationship with each other. It follows from this paper that in the case of PACT, the reason that the school improvement at PACT and the renewal of the contract with BU have been accomplished, is that the sponsor, BU, provided a liaison and carried out critical friend visits, based on the self-evaluation by PACT. In conclusion, I should note that the reason PACT evaluation by BU worked is that PACT has a right to choose another sponsor if they are not satisfied with BU. The relationship with PACT as a public school and BU as a sponsor might be a new way of restructuring the public school system.
