The '''chief state school officer''', either a Secretary of Education, '''State Superintendent of Education''',  '''[[Superintendent (education)|Superintendent of Public Instruction]]''', '''Commissioner of Education''' or '''Director of Education''',<ref>[http://www.ccsso.org/chief_state_school_officers/chiefs_addresses/index.cfm "Chief State School Officer Addresses"], Council of Chief State School Officers. Retrieved 11/1/08.</ref> is a constitutional or a statutory officer in several states of the [[United States]]. The position is the chief executive official for the state's state education agency (or equivalent), chief administrative officer for the state's [[Board of Education]], State Board of Education President, State School Board Administrator, State School Business Administrator, (or equivalent), or both.
