About Us
Covering 990 square miles in northern California, the Sacramento County Office of
Education (SCOE) and its employees play a leadership role in
the delivery of quality education to the students in Sacramento County, which is home to
the California state capital comprising 1.4 million residents and seven cities. SCOE
directly educates more than 30,000 children and adults each year through its student
programs, schools, and targeted initiatives—including thousands of district teachers who
attend training sessions and workshops.
Considered a leader of the Capital Service Region—a 10-county area consisting of Alpine,
Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba
Counties—SCOE is one of 58 county offices of
education in California.
Approximately 650
regular and more than 950 temporary and substitute SCOE staff work year-round to provide
services available throughout the region which complement and supplement those offered
by public school districts.
As part of a large regional educational team, we value high quality learning, growth,
fun, and community impact! Our mission is to serve, uplift, and empower students,
adults, and families through education. We provide essential services, curriculum and
instructional support, school staff development, direct technical assistance, legal and
financial advice, and oversight for our 13 school districts representing more than
247,000 students. We are a key player in regional educational leadership, valuing
continuous improvement, diversity, equity, and transparent communication. In creating
equitable environments that center belonging and inclusivity for all, we are committed
to championing inclusivity, fostering belonging, countering bias, and staying focused on
empowerment. Proud of our unique initiatives in literacy, school-based mental health,
early learning, and education workforce development, our educational ecosystem is robust
and resilient and the unique contributions of our staff drive success and innovation.
