Our Three-Year Vision
High-quality, innovative, and equitable educational opportunities that communities are rightly demanding have never been more important as our world deals with the effects of a global pandemic and ongoing racial inequities.
Our Mission
NACSA advances and strengthens the ideas and practices of authorizing so students and communities—especially those who are historically under-resourced—thrive.
Our Beliefs
Our nation needs to provide better public schools to more children by:
- Improving families’ access to quality schools
- Providing educators the autonomy they need for schools to excel
- Holding schools accountable for their performance
For charter schools to play a vital role in providing better public schools:
- Quality authorizing is essential.
- Authorizers must ensure access, autonomy, and accountability.
- Authorizers must be responsible for the overall performance of their portfolios of schools.
