Region 3 Events and Services

The ten county offices of education in Region 3 provide a variety of support services to districts to help their students meet California’s standards. They also support local schools and districts in meeting state and federal accountability requirements. County offices provide help in the areas of student services, curriculum and instruction, fiscal accountability, human resources, business services, and technology. Each county office of education provides a unique set of services. Collectively, these services fall into three categories: Facilitating Planning, Building Leadership, and Supporting Curriculum, Instruction and Improvement.

If you are looking for current workshops, professional learning opportunities or support services, you may want to first consult with your local county office of education to determine the options that are available locally.
