Education Department Opens Brand-New Office of State Support – Education Week

By Alyson Klein

There are a lot of moving boxes at the U.S. Department of Education, which just opened a new office to oversee a range of federal programs, from No Child Left Behind Act waivers and School Improvement Grants to Title III grants for English-language learners and grants to states for teacher quality.

The Office of State Support will be housed within the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. It will merge the Office of Student Achievement and School Accountability, which includes Title I and other programs; the Office of School Turnaround, which oversees the School Improvement Grant program; and the Office of the Deputy Secretary’s Implementation and Support Unit, which oversees Race to the Top, as well as individual programs from several other offices.
