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.

Leadership Assistance

Emerging, new, and experienced school leaders can access programs that provide the practical tools and training they need to do their jobs, and do them well.

Student Intervention

SCOE is strongly committed to helping districts ensure that all students succeed in Sonoma County schools. Building strong intervention systems is key.
