LACOE has been developing a comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Action Plan designed to coordinate, integrate and elevate sustainability efforts across the organization.

The longer the shutdown persists, the greater the strain on school districts, educators and parents who are doing everything they can to fill the gaps.

LACOE is excited to recognize two outstanding champions of student success — Melissa Gillespie and Dr. Maria Ruelas — as the 2025 L.A. County School Counselor and School Social Worker of the Year!

With over 500 community schools countywide, the Greater Los Angeles R-TAC currently supports the largest concentration of community schools in the nation.

Five students were awarded $750 scholarships.

Out of 70 nominations, 16 were selected, representing 65 school districts across Los Angeles County.

These laws build on existing emergency communication systems and legal safeguards to ensure families, students and staff are informed, prepared and shielded from unauthorized enforcement actions.

By ensuring students are seen, heard and supported, LACOE staff reaffirmed their shared mission to help every young person do better, be better and reach for a brighter future.
