Job Description
The Michigan
Department of Education (MDE) provides leadership, resources, support, and guidance
to approximately 200,000 school district staff serving approximately 1.5
million students in public and non-public schools and 39,000 students in
special education transition services. In addition, MDE provides administrative
support and supervision for the Michigan School for the Deaf and the Library of
Michigan.
MDE is responsible for state
education leadership in a local control state and works to implement state and
federal education laws, disburse state and federal resources, license
educators, develop state summative assessments and accountability systems, create
state academic standards, and coordinate school health and nutrition programs.
In addition, in developing and promoting the state's Top 10 Strategic Education
Plan, MDE works with partner education entities and stakeholders to improve
public education for children across the state. MDE's role in the improvement
of public education extends to providing information and feedback to public
policy-makers, convening educators on public policy issues, recommending draft
language on legislation, and developing guidance to districts on statutory
changes adopted at the state and federal levels.
Join a team of highly trained
and educated individuals committed to supporting learners and learning in
Michigan. Serving students, parents, families, educators, and communities
within a culture that promotes excellence and respects diversity, our work is

employee, you will receive a competitive wage and benefit package that values
your experience and skills. You will join a team of more than 400 professionals
at the department and almost 50,000 in state government who are committed to
excellence in public service.
The Michigan Legislature created the Library of Michigan to
guarantee the people of this State and their government one perpetual
institution to collect, preserve and provide access to the story of the State,
and to support libraries in their role as essential community anchors.
Since 1828, during Michigan's
territorial days, the Library of Michigan has served state government and the
people of Michigan much as the Library of Congress works at the federal level.
The library's early task was to collect, compile and store Michigan territorial
laws and other important documents that formed the basis for
Michigan's government today. The library's responsibility has expanded to
include a comprehensive collection of Michigan related documents, journals,
books, and other materials.
Position is located at the Library of Michigan, 702
West Kalamazoo Street, Lansing, MI. Hybrid flexible schedule of in-person and
remote work arrangement.
The State Librarian serves as chief administrative officer, provides critical leadership, and directs strategic, financial, operational, and personnel activities of the Library of Michigan; is a member of the department's leadership team and the deputy superintendent's admin directors leadership team; serves as secretary on the Library of Michigan's advisory Board of Trustees; and serves as a board member of the Library of Michigan Foundation. The state librarian is the guardian of the quality of library services statewide and actively facilitates cooperation among and between libraries of all types within the state and with library related organizations.
