About the Employer
The Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) is a unique public education agency.

Officially established in 1932, CCCOE has a long history of providing direct services to some of the county’s most vulnerable students, including young people who are incarcerated, experiencing homelessness, in foster care, or who have severe physical or emotional challenges. CCCOE also provides support services to schools and school districts throughout Contra Costa County, services that can be handled more effectively and economically on a regional basis rather than by each of the county’s 286 schools or 18 school districts. These services range from budget approval and fiscal support to technology infrastructure and communications support. In addition, CCCOE provides high-level professional development opportunities for educators throughout the county. The Contra Costa County Office of Education is an essential part of the county’s public education system. For more information about CCCOE programs and services, visit www.cocoschools.org.
