 A comprehensive resource – covering all 50 states – examines how state laws and regulations both grant and limit the authority of local school boards

MIDDLETON, Wis., April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ballotpedia has completed its study examining local school board authority across all 50 states. This resource is an exceptional tool for understanding the complex landscape of school governance in America and solves a critical information gap in this space. It represents a thorough analysis of how state laws and regulations both grant and limit the authority of local school boards nationwide.

As debates about educational governance continue to intensify nationwide, Ballotpedia’s school board authority research initiative provides an objective foundation for informed discussion about the proper balance of authority between state governments and local school boards.

Ballotpedia provides clarity about the policy areas over which local school boards have decision-making power and how that authority is constrained by state or federal law. The report will be an essential reference for education policymakers, school board members, administrators, parent advocates, researchers, and citizens seeking to understand or influence local education policy.

Ballotpedia’s analysis includes articles exploring the authority the laws in each state give to local school boards, generally and over specific education policy issues such as:

Curriculum requirements and restrictionsBook bans and restrictionsParental notification policiesDisciplineSchool board electionsPublic school choice and open enrollmentCharter schoolsCellphone use bans and limitations

Among its key findings, the study provides examples of state-by-state comparisons across a selection of topics, including:

Disciplinary policy authority rests with school boards in 47 states, while Vermont is the only state that delegated this authority to individual schools.Eleven states enacted laws restricting or banning cellphone use in K-12 classrooms, and five additional states established policies encouraging limitations.Thirty-six states authorize school boards to approve new charter schools in their districts, deny approval to new charter schools, or both.

The resource includes:

State-by-state profiles, interactive maps, and comparative analyses.Research cataloging statutory differences and covering how collective bargaining agreements, state regulations, court rulings, and Parents’ Bills of Rights create complex constraints on school board authority.An interactive format allows users to navigate between national comparisons and detailed state-specific information easily.

Methodology

Ballotpedia’s methodology involved analyzing state statutes, administrative codes, constitutions, court rulings, and recent legislation to create a repository of information on this aspect of educational governance.
