Welcome and thank you for considering OSSE!
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is the State Education Agency for the District of Columbia and we are charged with raising the quality of education for all DC residents. OSSE serves as the District’s liaison to the US Department of Education and works closely with the District’s traditional and public charter schools. We play a pivotal role in sustaining, accelerating, and deepening the progress being made in DC education.
OSSE is where smart, dedicated minds come together to make wonderful things happen for students and families in the District. There is tremendous opportunity here for solution-focused creative thinkers who want to lead in the education space by creatively navigating and addressing barriers to quality education. Whether your expertise is in business, data, finance, law, operations, technology or education policy and practice, there is a career here for you at OSSE.
Choosing a career with OSSE means joining a team that makes a difference all over the city, each and every day.
One of the seven strategic priorities in our strategic plan, Cultivate Team, includes building a thriving team by attracting, retaining, and developing top-notch talent like you.
