Solano COE details countywide technical assistance and professional learning; trustees ask for clearer disaggregated data
Summary
SCOE staff described tiered differentiated assistance, partnerships with CCEE, and a broad professional‑learning program that reported thousands of participants; trustees requested more disaggregated session and attendance data for budget and evaluation purposes.
County staff presented Solano County Office of Education efforts to support districts through differentiated assistance, tiered technical assistance and expanded professional learning.
Deputy Superintendent Dr. Lemos and professional learning lead (presenter) outlined the county’s role in the state system of support, partnerships with the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, and focused interventions for districts identified via the California School Dashboard. ‘‘We really tie this into ongoing work — we don't see differentiated assistance as a one‑time thing,’’ Dr. Lemos said.
Staff said the county delivered hundreds of professional learning sessions across the year with an aggregate participant count in the thousands (the report cited roughly 6,400 attendees across programs from July through April). Trustees praised the effort but asked for session‑level data — attendee counts per event, program owners, post‑training evaluations and costs — to help evaluate outcomes and budget priorities. Staff agreed to provide a more disaggregated breakdown in future reports.
Why it matters: County technical assistance and professional learning aim to improve classroom instruction across local districts, but trustees said they need finer‑grained data to judge cost‑effectiveness and to align budget decisions with program outcomes.
