The Solano County Office of Education (SCOE) is pleased to announce the winners of their 2018 Attendance Awareness Public Service Announcement (PSA)/Poster Contest

This year’s countywide Stuff the Bus campaign, held June 28 – July 28, 2018, proved to be another huge success. Backpacks continued to arrive through mid-September. Due to this outpouring of our local community, we were able to collect 761 backpacks for our homeless and foster youth, an increase from the 312 backpacks collected in 2017. “We appreciate the commitment from our Solano County community partners. Together we are working to create opportunities for our deserving youth,” says Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson.

The Solano County Office of Education (SCOE) is pleased to announce that Lisette Estrella-Henderson, Solano County Superintendent of Schools, has been selected as one of U.S. Congressman John Garamendi’s 2018 Women of the Year. The annual awards publicly honor outstanding women of the third Congressional District encompassing eight counties – Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Sacramento, Solano, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba. Women are recognized for improving the quality of life in the Third District through their work and volunteerism.

SCOE Adult Transition students, Zachary Herman and Sean Kielberg, had the opportunity to work with movie maker Joey Travolta of Inclusion Films at a camp in Stockton.

Mr. Travolta started Inclusion Films in 2007 which teaches individuals with development disabilities in five dedicated production studios throughout California. Mr. Travolta’s film crew travels the country doing short film camps for children and teens with autism.
