The State Board is responsible for approving state-level regulations and advises the Office of the State Superintendent (OSSE) on educational matters. The Office of the Student Advocate supports students, parents, and families in their advocacy through parent education, one-on-one coaching, resource supports, and trainings in order to amplify the voices of the families.
