National Association of Charter School Authorizers

The National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) is a professional organization that supports entities responsible for overseeing and approving charter schools—public schools operated independently of local school districts. NACSA provides standards, best practices, and resources to ensure these authorizers effectively evaluate the quality of schools, hold them accountable, and promote educational choices for families. Its goal is to improve the quality, accountability, and success of charter schools, ultimately benefiting students by encouraging innovation and high standards within the charter sector.
