2009 Policy Guide Series
After years of work in the field of charter school authorizing, NACSA has amassed the national repository of best practices in charter school authorizing. In order to maximize the application and availability of this knowledge base, NACSA published a series of Policy Guides to the eight critical elements of the charter school authorizing life cycle. These guides are designed specifically for state education policy makers and advocates.
Each guide dives in depth into the statutory and regulatory necessities for authorizing that will result in a high-quality public charter school sector. These guides will be indispensible as your state examines or improves its charter school policies.Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
