Assistant State Superintendent’s Advisory Council

The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), Division of Special Education/Early Intervention Services (DSE/EIS) is committed to its mission to provide leadership, support and accountability for results to local school systems, public agencies, and stakeholders. To meet this commitment, the DSE/EIS Assistant State Superintendent convenes an advisory council, comprised of local Special Education and Early Intervention leaders from across the State. The advisory council engages in robust deliberations with the Assistant State Superintendent regarding Federal, State and local factors that ultimately impact results for children with disabilities and their families. Advisory council participation rotates annually, or at alternate intervals, in order to accommodate participation of interested leaders from all Maryland jurisdictions.
