The Educational Personnel Advisory Council advises the Commissioner and the Board of Education on issues pertaining to all educational personnel. The current focus is on accountability and support for educator quality at every level, specifically in the areas of recruitment and retention, induction and mentoring, preparation program approval, and resources for educators. Advice on the development of programs to prepare new school leaders will be a priority this year.
