Policy Contacts in Office of Assessment and Information Services

8/18/2011 11:47:00 AM

As many of you are already aware, Tony Alpert is no longer with the Oregon Department of Education, having accepted the position of Chief Operating Officer for the SMARTER Balanced Consortium earlier this summer. In preparation for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year, we’re providing an updated list of contacts for various policy-level functional areas associated with assessment. Most questions about assessment and accountability can be addressed by the Regional ESD Help Desks.
