The Office of Assessment and Information Services supports ODE roles of accountability, leadership and school improvement through the development and maintenance of a technical and information infrastructure. This infrastructure has two major components. The first component is represented by data collection from and reporting on Schools, Districts and Educational Service Districts (ESDs). The second component is the design, development and implementation of student assessments.
