The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) serves the region's most vulnerable students, and supports school leaders, teachers, and students across the county. We support about 780 schools and nearly 500,000 students, including the children we educate each year through our Juvenile Court and Community Schools.
SDCOE provides a variety of services for the 42 school districts, 131 charter schools, and five community college districts in the county.

Our History
The San Diego County Office of Education was created in 1948 to support schools throughout the county with business, curricular, and other services.
Originally, the San Diego County Board of Education was appointed by the County Board of Supervisors. In 1949, voters picked the first selected county board of education in the state. At the time, the county had 91,225 students and 68 school districts.
