State Education Agency

A State Education Agency (SEA) is a government organization responsible for overseeing public education within a state. They develop education policies, distribute funding to local schools, set academic standards, and ensure schools follow federal and state regulations. SEAs support school districts and educators to improve student learning outcomes, manage assessments, and implement educational programs. Essentially, they serve as the main link between the state government and local schools, coordinating efforts to ensure that all students have access to quality education.
