TDOE - Tennessee Department of Education:
A quality education is the fundamental right of every child in Tennessee. The department provides many services, and it is our responsibility to ensure equal, safe, and quality learning opportunities for all students, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Therefore, our mission is to help teachers teach and children learn.
This department consists of four primary divisions - Special Education, Vocational-Technical Education, Resources and Support Services, and Teaching and Learning. Remembering our priority of putting teachers and students first drives the department's daily operations:
We are here to support the 136 school districts and 1,677 schools in Tennessee and to help them in their daily efforts to educate our children. We also provide services to approximately 575 private schools and thousands of home-schooled students across the state. When making inquiries to our department, you should expect prompt, thoughtful, and courteous responses.
