The Idaho State Department of Education (SDE) is a government agency supporting schools and students. We are responsible for implementing policies, distributing funds, administering statewide assessments, licensing educators, and providing accountability data. We deliver leadership, expertise, research, and technical assistance to school districts and schools to promote the academic success of students.

The SDE Organizational Chart is a graphical representation of how we are divided into departments within our organization. While each group has their specific responsibilities and obligations, we all work together and are committed to helping students achieve academic success.
