The 21st Century School Fund, as a consortium partner with the National Center on School Infrastructure (NCSI), is working to shed light on public school facility policy and practice across all U.S. states and territories. This searchable database of state policies is organized around the elements of educational facilities stewardship listed in the menu to the left and displayed below.

The collection and descriptions of state facility roles and responsibilies is an ongoing project. As of June 2025, policies from 13 states will be in the database. We welcome comments on this policy hub to ensure its relevance and continuous improvement.

Ask for technical assistance or share your comments with us at: the National Center on School Infrastructure.
