The County Office of Education is an essential part of Contra Costa's outstanding public school system. Overall, our county's students rank high on virtually every measure of achievement - from test scores to college entrance rates.
Our job in the County Office is to support the success of Contra Costa's 18 school districts, their schools, and their 166,000+ students.
We provide exactly the support that's needed by operating like a business. Our customers in school districts can choose whether to use – or not use – most County Office services. Superintendents and other district staff tell us they do choose our services and are highly satisfied with them because we:
- Provide quality countywide programs for children with special needs
- Save school districts money
- Help districts do a better job
- Support districts in meeting state and federal mandates
By working effectively and efficiently with Contra Costa's school districts, the County Office of Education strengthens our entire education system while saving dollars – dollars that can then be used in local classrooms.
