Office of Federal-State Relations

The Office of Federal-State Relations helps the states advise the U.S. Congress and government agencies about education issues relevant to state education agencies (SEAs).  Council staff members work closely with chief state school officers and SEA staff to improve communication between state education agencies and the federal government, advocate federal support for education, and strengthen and clarify the SEAs' role in federal education programs.  These efforts include presenting testimony before congressional committees, analyzing and commenting on proposed federal legislation and regulations, forming coalitions with other national education organizations, and informing and assisting the federal liaison representative in each state.
