Our Mission

To provide assistance and leadership to the districts in Shasta County and ensure all students have equal access to a quality education.

Our mission is accomplished through cooperative efforts with teachers, school districts, families, and communities; through direct instructional programs and administrative services; and through coordination with the California Department of Education and other agencies.

Our Vision

• We will serve as the voice of education in the community, supporting the successful efforts of our schools in Shasta County by reminding the community of the importance of education and the need for their support in the development of our youth.
  
  
• We will reach out to the smaller districts to provide direct service and establish partnerships with the larger districts to provide quality teacher training and improve student learning.
  
  
• We will empower our students in alternative education and special education programs to become productive members of the community by providing quality learning opportunities in academic skills, independent life skills, positive self-concepts, and effective relationships with others.
  
  
• We will partner with districts and the community to provide high quality, comprehensive early care and education programs that are neighborhood based, culturally sensitive, and inclusive.
  
  
• We will provide the students of Shasta County with unique opportunities to explore science through outdoor education at our Whiskeytown Environmental School and Camp Latieze facilities and at our multi-media facility the Schreder Planetarium.
