State Educational Agencies (SEAs)

State Educational Agencies (SEAs) are organizations within each U.S. state responsible for overseeing public education. They set statewide education policies, distribute funds, develop curriculum standards, and support local school districts to ensure quality education across the state. SEAs also coordinate with federal education programs and ensure compliance with national laws. Essentially, they serve as the central authority in managing and improving K-12 education within their state, working to ensure that all students have access to quality learning opportunities.
