This first annual authorizer salary survey, conducted by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, finds that most public charter authorizing work is conducted by a small staff of between one to five employees that work solely on public chartering issues as well as a select number of staff that assume non-charter duties as well. The leadership position of an authorizing office is generally held by an experienced individual with advanced education who has an average annual salary of $92,500. The typical public charter school office budget is under $1 million. The most difficult human capital challenges facing authorizing organizations were identified as lack of qualified staff and fulfilling authorizing duties within the allocated budget.
