The Department of Education of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico) is the executive department of the government of Puerto Rico responsible of managing state-operated schools in Puerto Rico as well as its education system and curricula.[1] The department is the result of a United States state department of education and only one of two in the United States composed of a single school district. It is also the largest agency of the executive branch of Puerto Rico with an annual budget of more than $3.5 billion USD and over 72,000 staff—including more than 41,000 teachers.[2][3] The department is also the third largest school district in the United States by enrollment with over 473,000 students and over 1,500 schools.[4][5]

The department was formerly known as the Department of Public Instruction of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Departamento de Instrucción Pública de Puerto Rico).

School uniforms

The department requires all students to wear school uniforms and only disallows them for medical exemptions.[6]
