How is a county office of education different from a school district?
A county office of education (COE) serves as a key support system to districts and a liaison with the state for all types of educational needs. A COE does not directly oversee school districts, but provides valuable support and services that are essential to the operations of school districts and charter schools. This includes ensuring fiscally sound operations, approving Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP), and connecting districts with best practices to ensure student success and educator expertise. A COE also directly serves vulnerable student populations that may be early learners, living with a disability, incarcerated, expelled, or more.
What makes RCOE unique compared to other county offices of education?
Riverside County has the #2 graduation rate amongst the largest counties in California, serves more students than 17 individual states in the U.S.A., and is regularly honored for awards and recognitions at the local, regional, state, and national levels.
How large is the school system in Riverside County?
First formed in 1893, RCOE currently has nearly 1,800 employees, serving 23 districts, 515 schools, and 430,000+ students.
Does RCOE operate its own programs or schools?
RCOE serves more than 1 million students and families each year through Early Education Services, Head Start programs, the School of Career Education, the Courage to Build Knowledge (CBK) charter school, and more programs.
What if I don't know the status of my teaching credential or I am applying from another state or country?
RCOE's Personnel Services Division has a credentials unit that can assist with determining what positions you may be eligible for.
What if I need an extra certification to be eligible for a position?
The School of Education at RCOE has a variety of programs to ensure you are qualified for educational positions in the classroom or in school administration.
Does RCOE offer career and technical positions?
If you have significant experience within a particular trade or technical industry, you may be a great candidate to teach career and technical education assignments in local high schools.
In addition, for more than 40 years, the School of Career Education offers post-high school career and technical education programs in Riverside and Indio in fields such as dental/medical assistant, pharmacy technician, welding, and more.
