Part A: Look up your state's department of education. For example, I am originally from Colorado so I would find the Colorado Department of Education for this discussion. 

1. What does your state's department of education do?

2. Is there a state superintendent? Who is he/she and how did they get that role?

3. Is there a state board of education? If so, who are they and how did they get that role, and what do they do?

*****MY STATE WOULD BE LOUISIANA*****

This one is just a discussion post.
