Mission

The mission statement of the Colorado Department of Education reads:[1]

“ Ensuring equity and opportunity for every student, every step of the way.[2] ”

Superintendent

The current Colorado Commissioner of Education is Susana Cordova (nonpartisan). Cordova assumed office in 2023.

State Board of Education

The State Board of Education is composed of nine members who serve six-year terms. Since 1950, voters have elected board members on a partisan basis from each of Colorado's federal congressional districts. An at-large seat was added during the 2022 election to avoid tied votes.[3] The State Board of Education appoints the state's Commissioner of Education, who also serves as the secretary of the board. Board members are not compensated for their services. The purpose of the board is to set policies and regulations for the state's public school system.[4]
