ACOE Communications Team

Communications & Public Affairs

Our mission is to provide strong, effective communications to staff, school districts, families, students, and the community; to increase public awareness and impact of ACOE’s programs and services, and to promote public education and issues that support the success of all students.

The award-winning Communications and Public Affairs Department supports ACOE’s mission to equip the most vulnerable students & those who serve them with the tools to thrive. We accomplish this through strong, effective communications to a diverse group of public stakeholders, including educators, parents, staff, legislators, governmental agencies, media, community members, boards of education, and students. Our team is recognized statewide and nationally by CalSPRA (California School Public Relations Association) for dedication in the field of education.

Our department supports our County office in preserving our brand standards, producing publications, digital content, and strategies working with the media.

For all official media requests, press details, or public statement assistance, please reach out to our team directly.
