Creating Higher Education Institution Authorizers
National Association of Charter School Authorizers
Good charter school policy must be part of the solution to address the public education system's greatest problem: too many children lack access to a transformative education. Getting authorizing policy right is critical because good authorizing has the power to transform the lives of not just a few children, but millions. While the quality of authorizing is more important than the quantity, the number of authorizers in a given jurisdiction or state matters: experience shows that the presence of multiple authorizers can strengthen a state's charter school sector. While the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) strongly recommends the presence of multiple authorizers, an authorizing structure only works if it creates a quality chartering ecosystem that produces more good schools for children. This report provides recommendations for policymakers and higher education leadership considering creating Higher Education Institution authorizers in their state.
