History, Mission, Vision, and Values

History, Mission, Vision, and Values:

The California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) was established by the California State Legislature and Governor to advise and assist school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools (local educational agencies (LEAs) achieve the goals and objectives in their Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs). It was created as part of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) legislation that redesigned California ‘s school funding formulas to ensure that there would be sufficient support for students who required additional resources to ensure their success.

CCEE Mission Statement: The California Collaborative for Educational Excellence is a statewide leader delivering on California’s promise of quality, equitable education for every student.

CCEE Vision Statement:  The California Collaborative for Educational Excellence transforms public education, so every student is inspired and prepared to thrive as their best self in the world.

CCEE team members commit to reflecting our values in the way we approach our work:

·   We strengthen socially just and inclusive education systems.

·   We build trusting, collaborative, authentic relationships.

·   We prioritize well-being – that of students, families, educators, communities, and our team.
