Invitation from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) to apply to serve on the District of Columbia Title I Committee of Practitioners.
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is requesting applications from candidates interested in serving on the District of Columbia Title I Committee of Practitioners. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) requires each State Education Agency to maintain such a committee and OSSE is updating the membership of its committee. The Committee serves as an advisory body that will support OSSE in carrying out its responsibilities under Title I of the ESEA for the District of Columbia.
The membership of the State Title I Committee of Practitioners must meet certain federal requirements to ensure that different stakeholders are represented. OSSE is seeking a variety of applicants for membership. These include: LEA and school administrators, teachers, parents of DCPS and public charter school students, members of public charter school boards of directors, private school representatives, and pupil services personnel (including school social workers, psychologists, and counselors). OSSE requests that you consider applying to the State Title I Committee of Practitioners and distribute this application form widely to other potential interested individuals.
Attached to this letter you will find a summary of responsibilities and benefits of becoming a member of the State Title I Committee of Practitioners, along with the membership application.
