In light of #nationalbullyingpreventionmonth , OCDE today joined millions of people from across the country to celebrate #unityday While October may be the national month for raising awareness about bullying, OCDE’s Bullying Prevention team works year-round to support schools throughout Orange County with their efforts to provide a safe and positive environment for students, families and staff members.

Kindness Matters: Lilian Cho, an Amazing AUHSD Student!

Lilian Cho, a junior at Cypress High School, took it upon herself to start making hand-made face masks. Realizing that her grandmother and mother had underlying health conditions, she researched the best and safe masks to wear and was on her way. In addition, she wanted to make masks available to those who needed them most: the elderly, people at risk, and most importantly, our first responders.

Lilian made hundreds, which she donated to Cypress Police Department, the Cypress Senior Center, Senior Living facilities, and friends. Lilian also made meal donations to the OC Rescue Mission and dropped off masks to their facilities for the homeless.

In July, she designed a "wear your mask" button to start an awareness campaign in her community. She designed and had made 1,000 buttons. She also purchased 1,000 disposable masks, packaged them up, and passed them out to her Cypress Community, including fire departments, community centers, neighborhood business, and residential communities.

Lilian has spent countless hours on these projects and deserves to be recognized by her community. Way to go, Lilian! #kindnessonebillion

Teachers are heroes… now more than ever. On this #WorldTeachersDay — and especially this year — we'd like to send a special thank you to our dedicated teachers for the care, patience, and resilience they bring each and every day in support of our Orange County students. Whether back in the classroom or teaching virtually, they are all rockstars! We see you and we THANK YOU!

OCDE Facilities Services Supervisor Robert Martine

OCDE Facilities Services Supervisor Robert Martinez and the entire OCDE Facilities team have been working so hard to make sure that not only do our 27 school districts across the county, but our own OCDE special schools have the PPE and equipment needed to bring students and staff safely back to campus. Today, Robert and members of the OCDE facilites team, worked to prepare air purifying machines that will be distributed to all of OCDE’s ACCESS (Alternative, Community, and Correctional Education Schools and Services) sites.

Additionally, we’d like to thank all of the men and women who work around the clock – days, nights, and weekends – to keep our schools and workplaces clean and safe. On #custodialworkersrecognitionday and every day, we sure do appreciate each and every one of you!

Many OC districts reopened their doors this week to students and staff after more than six months of forced closures due to the pandemic. While school certain looks a lot different, we couldn’t be more proud of the hard work of district administrators, principals, teachers, support staff, students, families and community members who’ve come together to ensure a safe return to campuses across our county. Here is a look at what the first day looked like in @irvine_unified (all 📸 courtesy of @irvine_unified )

While you might be familiar with the award-winning

While you might be familiar with the award-winning OC Pathways initiative, you might not know that one of the program’s biggest accomplishments over the last year has been the hiring of 14 career counseling coordinators – or CCCs – at almost every secondary school district in Orange County. CCCs assist with the alignment of CTE curriculum, activities and counseling efforts at both the middle school and high school level. To better understand the pivotal role this position plays throughout the county, we talked with CCCs from four different OC districts. Head to the OCDE Newsroom to see what they had to say.

As local districts forge ahead with their reopenin

As local districts forge ahead with their reopening plans, questions continue to arise over the use of face masks in school settings. To provide some clarity, OCDE’s Legal Services division worked with the OC Health Care Agency to develop a list of frequently asked questions and answers that will continue to be updated as new information emerges from federal, state or local public health or educational agencies. You can find the helpful FAQ in the OCDE Newsroom (link in bio).
