The Office of Public School Monitoring Vision:

Equitable outcomes for all students

Mission:

We serve students by conducting data analyses and reviews of special education and civil rights policies, procedures, and practices in order to support district efforts to build equitable and inclusive educational systems that meet the diverse needs of all students.

• Analyze all relevant data through an equity lens to identify areas of growth.
• Engage in data-driven discussions with district administrators.
• Before, during, and after each review, hold supportive conversations with districts to encourage continuous improvement of equity-sustaining practices.
