The San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) provides vital resources in support of our 23 school districts. Our dedicated and professional staff works collaboratively with districts, schools, and a diverse array of community partners to eliminate barriers to learning, including those associated with poverty. We know that positive student outcomes are a direct result of effective and positive support systems. At SMCOE, we provide many of these systems of support through a variety of instructional, business, and consulting services.
