About
Jackie Gantzer joined the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in 2019 and took on the role of Director of Remote Learning in April 2020. In this capacity, she has played a leading role coordinating and implementing the state’s pandemic response for K-12 schools as they quickly shifted to a largely remote setting. Jackie began her career as a middle school teacher, and has since spent time as a school administrator, serving in the Indianapolis Mayor’s Office of Education Innovation, working for an education nonprofit, and as an education consultant. Her zoom office is frequented by her two loud dogs, an on-again-off-again remote kindergartener, and a 3 year-old.
