The State of Charter School Authorizing 2010: Third Annual Report on NACSA’s Authorizer Survey
National Association of Charter School Authorizers
January 2011
Abstract:
The State of Charter School Authorizing 2010 report serves as a snapshot of charter school authorizing, providing a detailed analysis of authorizing entities’ use of NACSA’s Principles & Standards for Quality Charter School Authorizing. This resource strengthens quality among charter schools by identifying best practices for authorizers, the agencies that approve, oversee and monitor charter schools on behalf of the public interest. This year’s report found that the number of school districts authorizing charter schools has increased by 37 percent over the past three years.
