About the Arizona Department of Education
Equity for all students to achieve their full potential.
This is the guiding vision of the Arizona Department of Education — the state agency tasked with overseeing Arizona's K-12 public education system. Our department, led by a publicly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, comprises more than 600 staff across four state offices working to serve Arizona's students, families, educators, and school communities.
Arizona Education Governance
The Arizona Education Governance document provides an overview of the different federal, state, and local agencies that oversee public education in Arizona. The document intends to raise awareness and understanding of who and what controls education decisions that affect Arizonans.
