There is a set of acronyms and such, dealing mainly with federal programs, which is fairly common from state to state. But there is a lot of jargon unique to public schooling within each particular state, then county, then district, and sometimes building.

i don't know of that many acronyms etc -- most, we get from our schooling when learning to be teachers, some are local to one school system or another.
