NACSA, the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, is a leading advocate for effective charter school policies and practices. As an independent voice in the field, NACSA works to ensure that charter schools meet high academic and operational standards. NACSA's core focus is on authorizing, which involves deciding who can establish a new charter school, setting expectations for performance, and overseeing school operations.

They are dedicated to promoting excellence in authorizing through their principles and standards. Beyond their advocacy work, NACSA also offers a range of resources and programs to support authorizers, including training and development opportunities. They believe in centering communities and working with new schools to create educational opportunities that are equitable and innovative.

With a vision for high-quality education that addresses the challenges of the current global pandemic and racial inequities, NACSA remains committed to ensuring that all students and communities, especially those historically under-resourced, thrive.
