OSSE is proud to annually convene teachers, school leaders, parents, and family members to participate in the Superintendent’s Advisory Councils (SACs). The Councils are comprised of a diverse group of educators, school leaders, parents, and family members from across the city who reflect the demographics of the District’s students. These individuals meet regularly with OSSE leadership and staff to provide insights and ask questions about OSSE programs and policies.
Applications are now closed for the 2025-26 school year. We anticipate opening applications to serve on the 2026-27 school year SACs in spring 2026.
For questions, please contact Megan Dumond, Special Assistant for Teaching and Learning, at [email protected] or Vonique Jones, Executive Assistant for Teaching and Learning, at [email protected].
