NACSA's National Policy Index

Browse, search, and compare state policies within the largest, most comprehensive database of state-level legislation related to education reform, authorizing, and charter schools. Start by interacting with the map below. Select a state, or multiple states, and filter by category and policy questions, or get broad results without filters by clicking here.

An Important Note: The National Policy Index covers statutes, primarily in state charter school law, that relate to charter school authorizing. Policies impacting charter school authorizing codified outside of state charter school law may not fully be reflected in the Index. Practices sometimes differ from policy and also are not reflected in the data.
