Mission Statement
To accelerate student achievement through school improvement by working as partners to maximize the allowable use of supplementary resources.
The primary goal of the Office is to support schools in helping all students learn and achieve high standards. Team members work together to help Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) implement functional school improvement plans aligned to high standards, improve student performance on both State and local assessments, and target supplementary resources more effectively to support educators in achieving these results.Director
