The Department of Academic Support provides leadership and support in helping schools maintain an environment where teaching and learning are the centerpieces, as well as providing educational and recreational opportunities for students, staff and stakeholders through our community schools program. The areas within this office develop policies and procedures that impact student discipline, gender equity, safety and security, interscholastic athletics, planning, community support, community schools and student activities.

The following offices are aligned to support these efforts:

• The Office of Athletics
