They perform the political, administrative, and fiscal functions that are often the work of ministries of education in countries with centralized education systems. Education is the largest budget item for each of the 50 state and 5 territorial and commonwealth governments within the United States. The degree to which states and territories control education depends upon their constitutions, statutes, and regulations. Among the duties performed by state authorities are: Providing funding for public education at all levels; Licensing or chartering private schools and public and private institutions of higher education; Providing oversight and guidance to local school boards; Setting broad policies for school-level curricula, texts, standards, and assessments (but not higher education); Licensing school teachers and other educational personnel; Overseeing the provision of educational services for persons living with disabilities, adults needing basic education services, and other special needs populations; Setting the standards for examining and licensing persons seeking to work in any regulated professional occupation; and Electing or appointing some or all of the members of the governing boards of public higher education institutions and state boards of education.

MULTI-STATE EDUCATION POLICIES HYPERLINK "http://www.ecs.org/"Education Commission of the States (ECS) is a cooperative inter-state association providing extensive information and resources on state level education issues. EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION Early Childhood Education is the U.S. name for preschool education at the nursery and kindergarten levels, and early learning is the name of the associated research field. It can also encompass the first year or two of primary education. Early childhood education involves issues of maternity, health, day care and human development as well as formal education, and is widely recognized and licensed as a specialized career field in education.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION State governments have the authority to regulate public preschool, primary and secondary education; license private preschool, primary, and secondary schools; and license or otherwise regulate parents providing home schooling. They also, in many cases, establish and oversee curricula, standards, and procedures. Most state governance occurs via state departments and boards of education, but certain other aspects are often regulated through specialized agencies. HYPERLINK "http://www.nasbe.org/"National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) is the national organization representing the 55 state, territorial, and commonwealth boards of education. State boards of education are bodies of prominent citizens appointed by either the legislature or the governor for fixed terms, whose job it is to conduct oversight of statewide educational policies and operations, determine budget priorities, approve new policies and guidelines (such as for curricula), approve certain professional appointments and new schools, consider requests from local education agencies, and investigate problems. In some cases the state board is responsible for all levels of education, but in most states the board concentrates on education at the primary and secondary levels. State boards exercise close governance of state education agencies and the state superintendent or chief school executive usually reports to them. HYPERLINK "http://www.ccsso.org/"Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) is the national membership association representing the head officials of state education agencies. It provides an extensive array of professional resources and links to state agencies. State superintendents or commissioners are the highest education officials in state government, and are usually appointed by the state board of education or the governor (a few states elect the superintendent). The generic name for such positions is chief state school officer. These individuals manage the day-to-day affairs of state education agencies and report periodically to the state board, the legislature, and the governor. In some states the laws provide for certain specialized types of education, such as vocational training, to be managed by a separate chief executive. HYPERLINK "http://wdcrobcolp01.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/org_list.cfm?category_cd=SEA"EROD Directory of State Education Agencies provides contact information and links to the state and territorial departments of education. State departments of education, also known as state education agencies (SEAs), administer state programs and enforce state regulations. While many SEAs deal with all levels of education, others concentrate primarily on early childhood, primary, and secondary education plus vocational education and special needs services. The head of an SEA is generally the chief state school executive.
