Oregon Chief Education Office

The Oregon Chief Education Office was a government agency created by statute^[1] (Senate Bill 215-B of the 78th Oregon Legislative Assembly) in 2014 by the state of Oregon. Its stated mission was "to build and coordinate a seamless system of education that meets the diverse learning needs of Oregonians from birth through college and career,"^[2] through the efforts of five subsidiary divisions also created or relocated from elsewhere in the state government's organizational hierarchy to come under its leadership by the same statute:^[3]

• Oregon Early Learning Division
• Oregon Department of Education
• Oregon Youth Development Division
• Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission
• Oregon Teachers Standards and Practices Commission
