This section serves as a resource not only for our public K-12 programs, but also for home schooling, charter school programs, post-high school pursuits such as vocational programs, two- and four- year degrees, as well as educational outreach to the physically and mentally challenged. Right now we're focusing on El Dorado County, where we happen to live. But as time goes on, we'll include other resources.
EDCOE now serves over 28,000 students and their families within the fifteen K-12 school districts of El Dorado County. The county office also offers many programs for students with special needs and features teacher resources.
