At OSSE, we recognize that the start of school is a critical time for local education agencies (LEAs). That’s why, as part of our ongoing focus on responsive and consistent service, we’re seeking to transform the way that our education partners experience the start of school with OSSE. This webpage is intended for LEAs and school-based staff. It provides guidance, timelines, and resources to support a successful start to the 2025-26 school year.
