Office of Federal Programs
Every Ohio school district and community school has a designated Federal Programs consultant. Our Federal Programs consultants are assigned to traditional districts according to State Support Team regions and by Sponsors for community schools. These assignments are designed to offer superior support to schools and districts by aligning to Ohio's Strategic Plan for Education and coordinating with the State Support Team regions.
The Office of Federal Programs supports continuous improvement through our Office of Federal Programs Office Plan that integrates and aligns to the state strategic plan.
Looking for Your Federal Programs Consultant?
Locate your assigned Federal Programs consultant by accessing the Address Book within the CCIP and viewing your Consolidated ODE Application Contact. In most cases, calls should go to your district's assigned consultant first. The list below should only be used in specific circumstances.
