Fostering student success through service to students, schools and the community

SCOE helps schools and districts operate effectively and efficiently so that Sonoma County’s 71,000 public school students receive the best education possible.

Our Focus and Priorities

Aiming High

Closing the achievement gap for English learners is the focus of Aiming High. Today, new initiatives are engaging the entire community in this important work.

Career Technical Education

Career Technical Education (CTE) creates an exciting relationship between what’s being taught in the classroom and its application in the workplace.

Common Core Standards

SCOE is helping Sonoma County schools transition to the new Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics.

Transitional Kindergarten

To ensure that every student gets a strong start in school, SCOE is supporting districts as they establish transitional kindergarten programs.
