States vary widely in their approaches to charter school regulation. We administered online surveys to charter school leaders in four of the most stringently regulated states and three of the least stringently regulated states to examine how their approach might influence perceived school goals and levels of goal agreement. Generally, survey responses reveal that leaders in both settings perceive similar priorities from school stakeholders. However, charter leaders in low regulation states ascribe greater relative importance to satisfying enrolled families, report that charter authorizers are comparatively less concerned about test scores, and report less clarity regarding school goals. Implications are discussed.
