We’re off and running!
The 2022-2023 school year is in full swing, thanks to teachers, students, families, school leaders, and support staff standing strong and working together.
One of our values at the Santa Barbara County Education Office (SBCEO) is to celebrate and recognize education employees as they demonstrate creativity, innovation, dedication, and extraordinary accomplishments.To that end, in this edition of SBCEO’s community newsletter, it is my honor to share with you six individuals selected as Santa Barbara County’s 2022-2023 Distinguished New and Mentor teachers. Also featured is an exemplary group of Santa Barbara County’s top classified school employees – one of whom was recently named a California Classified Employee of the Year.
I look forward to seeing our students and staff in action throughout the school year.
You can read the newsletter HERE.
Sincerely,
Dr. Susan Salcido, County Superintendent of Schools
