National Association of Charter School Authorizers ( NACSA)

The National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) is an organization that supports and sets standards for entities responsible for overseeing charter schools. These authorizers, such as school districts or independent agencies, grant and monitor charter schoolcharters—public schools that operate with more flexibility. NACSA helps ensure these authorizers evaluate applications fairly, hold schools accountable for performance, and maintain quality while fostering innovation. Its goal is to promote effective oversight that benefits students by ensuring that charter schools meet high standards and serve their communities well.
