Abstract: In summer 2024, EdChoice published "The School Starter Checklist," a compendium of regulations on private schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Even a cursory glance at it will show that states take different approaches to regulating private schooling. To determine the regulatory burden that each state (and Washington, D.C.) places on private schools, the authors used "The School Starter Checklist" as a reference document and then classified regulations across eight areas. They were: (1) Regulation, Accreditation, Approval, and Licensure; (2) Nonprofit Requirements; (3) School Day and Year; (4) Curriculum; (5) Record Keeping; (6) Testing; (7) Teacher Certification; and (8) Health and Safety. The report evaluates all 50 states and the District of Columbia across the eight metrics. It devotes one or more pages to each state's regulations and quotes from the "School Starter Checklist" to provide evidence for each classification.
