Local Education Agencies (LEAs) have primary responsibility for the operations and maintenance of public school facilities, long-term facilities planning, design, financing, and construction. State-level management related to elementary and secondary public school facilities varies widely.
Most states have some office with responsibilities related to PK-12 public school facilities in their state education agency. However, in other states, primary state level engagement with public PK-12 facilities is established in independent public authorities, or under the state executive. In most states there are multiple state-level agencies and entities that have some authority over school district buildings and grounds.
