State education agency

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A state education agency (SEA), or state department of education, is a formal governmental label for the state-level government agencies within each U.S. state responsible for providing information, resources, and technical assistance on educational matters to schools and residents.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction is a constitutional (or at times a statutory) officer in several states of the United States. The position is the chief executive official for the state's state education agency (or equivalent), chief administrative officer for the state's Board of Education (or equivalent), or both. In some states, such as Washington, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction serves as the SEA.
