This publication analyzes legislation passed in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas through a research-based framework designed to identify autonomous features in charter schools. SEDL's analysis reveals not only significant variations in the overall degree of autonomy granted to charter schools across the Southwestern Region, but also subtle differences in the kinds of autonomy that the region's charter schools are most likely to enjoy.
