LEA Teams

CEI operates on a peer leading and learning model. All of our LEA participants form their own CEI teams that consist of educational partners, including county office of education representatives, district and school-site representatives, parents, students, and community members.

Below you will find a current list of the school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education who are leading and learning from each other, to build California’s list of best practices around community engagement.
