Research relevant laws and regulations
When a question turns on a law, a rule, or an authorizer’s requirement, Alta can search official sources for your state and quote what it reads.
Steps
- Make sure your school’s state is on your profile, and your authorizer if you know it.
- Ask Alta the question from the box on your home, such as what your state requires for charter board member training.
- For North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, and Arizona, Alta searches a short list of official sites for your state and the federal government, reads up to four documents, and quotes them.
- The answer says what Alta searched, what it read, and what it could not read.
- In a Council review, an advisor may name a rule to look up; press Research this to have Alta look it up the same way.
Worth knowing
- Some official sites cannot be read by a program. Where Alta could not read the text, the answer says so; upload the document if you have it.
- Alta is not a lawyer. Confirm a requirement with your authorizer or your counsel before acting on it.
