The ECS State Education Policy Database is a unique resource—currently summarizing nearly 40,000 pieces of enacted legislation—searchable by state, by year, and by issue.

This database is made possible by your state's fiscal support of the Education Commission of the States (ECS). Most entries are legislative, although rules/regulations and executive orders that make substantive changes are included. Every effort is made to collect the latest available version of policies; in some instances, recent changes might not be reflected. For expediency purposes minimal attention has been paid to style (capitalization, punctuation) and format.
