You will have the opportunity to collaborate with others who share a vision and commitment to students in Oregon, work across ODE’s offices and with other state agencies, and do what you do best every day in a collaborative, human-centered organizational culture.

Typical Duties Include

• Provide technical assistance, training, and compliance support to school districts and Education Service Districts to improve School Medicaid billing and ensure alignment with federal and state requirements such as the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
• Coordinate and lead IDEA and Section 504 health services efforts by building statewide and district capacity, analyzing program effectiveness, and supporting continuous improvement of related services.
• Develop and maintain partnerships with state, federal, and local stakeholders (including Oregon Health Authority and licensing boards) to align policy, improve Medicaid systems, and support statewide implementation.
