the lawsuit also named the minnesota department of education and islamic relief, the charter school's authorizer, as co-defendants. a settlement reached in february 2011 between the aclu and the other defendants included an agreement that islamic relief would not to seek to incorporate in minnesota; under a new state law, this effectively means the out-of-state organization may no longer continue serving as tiza's authorizer. a separate settlement with the school has not yet been reached.
