Educational Supports

Mission Statement

To support educators in leveraging assets to meet the needs of all students.

The primary goal of the Office of Educational Supports (OES) 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.
