State policy is essential for supporting local school districts in their responsibilities to deliver healthy, safe, educationally appropriate public school buildings and grounds that are also resilient, environmentally sustainable, community centers, and affordable.

Use the menu on the upper left to access a searchable database of state policies that is organized around the elements of educational facilities stewardship.

The collection of state facility roles and responsibilities is an ongoing project. As of April 2026, policies from 20 states are in the library. We welcome comments on our collection to ensure its relevance and continuous improvement. info@21csf.org
