The underpinnings of the County Office of Education culture can be found in our strategic plan and five core concepts of quality.

Choose Civility

An Initiative Championed by the
Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools

Civility is a core value of a well functioning community and one of its defining components. Quality of life depends in great part on how community members treat each other. This initiative will promote the importance of civility in a world becoming less civil, and encourage community members to choose positive and respectful behaviors in their personal and work lives.
