# World Learner School *Minnesota charter school in Chaska, Carver County, named in one at-issue entry on state building lease aid.* **World Learner School** is a Minnesota charter school in [[Chaska]], Carver County. The project's Carver County claims matrix lists it with about 210 students. The matrix records that the school is statutorily eligible for charter building lease aid under [[Minn. Stat. § 124E.22]]. It also records that whether the school receives that aid, and in what amount, "could not be retrieved from any published dataset."[^1] The record establishes the school's charter status, location, approximate enrollment and statutory eligibility. It does not establish any payment, any amount, or any finding about the school. The matrix ties the item to a March 2025 presidential action on fraud, waste and abuse in federal payments.[^2] The State statute authorizes a rent subsidy for charter schools, but the matrix found no published record of who receives it. The article sets those two documented facts side by side.[^1] ## Who World Learner School is one of two charter schools the matrix places inside Carver County. The other is [[Cologne Academy]] in Cologne, listed at about 731 students.[^1] The record names no officers, board members or authorizer for World Learner School. It does not state when the school opened.[^1] ## Where The matrix places the school in Chaska.[^1] Carver County ranks first statewide in median household income and median home value. The matrix gives this figure on the basis of U.S. Census QuickFacts and a Minnesota DEED county profile.[^3] ## How much Minn. Stat. § 124E.22 reimburses charter school rent at the lesser of two amounts: 90% of approved cost, or a per-pupil ceiling. That is how the at-issue entry describes the statute.[^1] The matrix marks the school's recipient-level lease aid figure, if any, as NOT FOUND. The record carries no dollar amount for World Learner School.[^1] ## How many The at-issue entry gives enrollment as about 210 students. It is stated as of the matrix's date, 2026-09-02. The entry draws enrollment from National Center for Education Statistics records, but the pack carries no NCES URL.[^1] ## In the at-issue record Entry AI-Carver-083 sits in Block E of the Carver County matrix. Block E is titled *The Consent Decree and What It Built*.[^1] The entry makes three points: - Both Carver County charter schools are eligible for lease aid under § 124E.22. - Neither school's receipt or amount of aid could be found in any published dataset. - The item is tagged as a case of "lease-aid-opacity."[^1] The entry's federal anchor is a White House presidential action of March 2025, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse*.[^2] The entry gives its reason for the anchor as a statutory rent subsidy "whose recipient-level data is not publicly readable."[^1] The matrix records a similar gap elsewhere in the county's school records. Minnesota Department of Education organization record #13185 is listed as "Carver County Schools Network," Watertown, opened 2025–2026. The matrix records its type as unresolved and the record as not retrievable.[^4] Block E is named for the consent decree in *T.B., et al. v. Independent School District 112*, 0:19-cv-02414 (D. Minn.). Families in Chaska filed that federal civil-rights suit against the Eastern Carver County School District on 2019-09-03, according to their counsel's press release. The complaint alleged race discrimination.[^5] The matrix records that a consent decree was entered in March 2022.[^5] The record does not establish any connection between World Learner School and that district or that decree. The school appears in Block E only as a charter school in the same county.[^1] ## In the Minnesota record ### When Minnesota's charter school law, Minn. Stat. ch. 124E, codifies the State's 1991 first-in-nation charter statute. The project's validated master attributes the 1991 statute to the administration of Governor Arne Carlson, a Republican. The master lists it among the State instruments carrying Republican signatures.[^6] The pack does not show who amended or maintained § 124E.22 after 1991, or when.[^6] ### What The matrix records searches of two oversight reports for all eleven Carver County city names, which include Chaska: - the House Oversight majority's *MN Fraud Final Staff Report* (2026-06-08); - the Office of the Legislative Auditor's *MDE: Oversight of Feeding Our Future* (June 2024). Neither search returned a match.[^7][^8] These are documented absences. They show that neither report names Chaska. They do not show that any Chaska entity was reviewed and cleared.[^7][^8] ### Who The federal government is pursuing active actions against the State's education and civil-rights apparatus. All are pending: - On January 14, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice issued release No. 26-21, titled "United States Department of Justice Files Lawsuit Against Minnesota's 'Affirmative Action' Regime." The release states that Attorney General Pamela Bondi certified the case as a matter of general public importance.[^9] - The United States separately filed *United States v. Minnesota Department of Education*, 0:26-cv-02078, a Title IX action, on March 30, 2026. The case is assigned to Judge [[Eric C. Tostrud]]. The defendants are the [[Minnesota Department of Education]] and the [[Minnesota State High School League]].[^10] The record does not connect either action to World Learner School or to charter lease aid.[^9][^10] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, *AT_Issue_Carver_Claims_Exposure_Matrix* (2026-09-02), entry AI-Carver-083, Block E (pairs 75–88) — World Learner School, Chaska, about 210 students; Cologne Academy, Cologne, about 731; eligibility under Minn.
