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.

Through this work, we hope state leaders and others can gain insights about state roles and responsibilities that will advance healthy, safe, educationally suitable public school buildings and grounds, that are also sustainable, resilient, energy efficient, and affordable. 

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. Please share your comments with us at: info@21csf.org

Thank you to our public sector government workers and officials who support our nation's public school buildings and grounds!!
