The Education Commission of the States is an interstate planning commission for education. ECS was founded in the mid 1960’s, largely in response to a unanimous vote at the 1966 National Governor’s Conference that called for a nationwide alliance for the improvement of education that included the active leadership and personal participation of governors. A bipartisan organization, its mission is to “help state leaders identify, develop, and implement public policy for education that addresses current and future needs of a learning society.”
