Welcome to The CCCOE
The Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) plays a leadership role in the delivery of quality education to more than 168,000 K-12 students in Contra Costa.

- Career Technical Classes
- Court and Community Schools
- Special Education
- Technical Assistance
- Staff Development
- Business and Administrative Support
- Teacher Credentialing
The underpinnings of the County Office of Education culture can be found in our strategic plan and five core concepts of quality.
Choose Civility
An Initiative Championed by the
Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools
Civility is a core value of a well functioning community and one of its defining components. Quality of life depends in great part on how community members treat each other. This initiative will promote the importance of civility in a world becoming less civil, and encourage community members to choose positive and respectful behaviors in their personal and work lives.
“Apologize Earnestly”
Choose Civility Principle
for June, as chosen by the 2012-13 Contra Costa County Teachers of the Year.
