About Jessica Spataro
Legal and policy analyst with 19+ years of experience in disability and education law, program oversight, and compliance. At the U.S. Department of Education, I built a strong record in policy development, regulatory compliance, audit coordination, program evaluation, and grants management—advising senior leadership, strengthening accountability, and driving interagency collaboration.My expertise lies in translating complex education laws (including IDEA and the Rehabilitation Act) into clear, actionable guidance that supports program effectiveness and compliance. I thrive at the intersection of policy, law, and program management—helping organizations comply with legal requirements while improving outcomes for children and adults with disabilities.I am now seeking opportunities in the public or private sector where I can apply my skills in policy development, oversight, and program compliance to advance education and disability policy and support organizational success.
