Supporting Charter School Excellence Through Quality Authorizing

The vision of the Riverside County Office of Education is to be a collaborative organization characterized by the highest quality employees providing leadership programs and services to all schools and students. The Charter Schools Unit closely collaborates with RCBE-approved charter schools, and all charter schools in the county, with a high degree of professionalism with the goal of positively influencing the public education system and modeling quality authorizing practices.

The Charter Schools Unit believes that high quality authorizing will lead to better outcomes for students that attend charter schools. We are committed to supporting district authorizers in and around Riverside County, as well as collaborating with authorizers across California and those throughout our nation to ensure best practices in charter school authorizing.
