Welcome to the Shasta County Office of Education
The Shasta County Office of Education (SCOE) plays a crucial role in supporting the educational needs of Shasta County, California. Its history is closely intertwined with the development of education within the region, going back to the mid-1800’s when the first public schools were established by California’s Constitution. SCOE provides vital resources to support the county's 25 school districts, community college, state universities, and many local businesses and partner organizations.
SCOE ensures that all Shasta County school districts are fiscally responsible, providing financial oversight, accounting and payroll services, and other tools to ensure financial stability. SCOE also provides teacher, administrator, and instructional support services to improve teaching and learning in the classroom and increase achievement for all students. In addition to the many services provided for local school districts, SCOE provides direct services to students through early childhood programs, special education, alternative education for at-risk students, after school programs, and independent study.
The Shasta County Office of Education continues to evolve and adapt to meet the changing needs of the students and educational landscape in Shasta County, remaining a vital force in the region's commitment to quality education.

Tribal Partners in Education
Wintu, Yana, and Pit River tribes have called Shasta County home long before it was a county. Indigenous people had, and continue to have, distinct, rich cultures binding them to the Earth and all of its inhabitants. The Wintu, Yana, and Pit River people continue to thrive in Shasta County. In honoring the history, culture, and resilience of our local tribes and appreciating their ongoing contributions, we uphold understanding, empathy, and stronger community.
