What is DNCOE?
About Del Norte County Office of Education
Del Norte County Office of Education provides countywide leadership, oversight, and specialized services that support education across Del Norte County. While Del Norte Unified School District operates the county’s public elementary, middle, and high schools, DNCOE works alongside DNUSD, charter schools, county-operated programs, staff, families, and community partners to help students succeed.
DNCOE supports a wide range of educational and operational services, including countywide programs, charter school oversight, technology, professional learning, student support, fiscal and administrative services, and public accountability. Through this work, DNCOE helps strengthen the systems, partnerships, and resources that serve students throughout Del Norte County.
Together with our schools and community partners, DNCOE is committed to preparing students for college, career, and life by supporting learning environments that build self-awareness, self-sufficiency, self-discipline, technical literacy, communication, collaboration, integrity, and community engagement.
DNCOE and DNUSD work closely together, but they are separate public education agencies. DNUSD operates local public schools, while DNCOE provides countywide leadership, oversight, and specialized services.
