How can I find other states that compare with mine?

State board structures vary considerably across the country. NASBE's website has two charts that describe states' education governing structures: State Education Governance at-a-Glance, a detailed matrix of each state's governance features, and State Education Governance Models, a one-page overview listing states in terms of the four basic governance models based on whether board members are elected or appointed and whether the chief state school officer is appointed by the state board, the governor, or is elected statewide.
