The County Superintendent of Schools is an elected official who administers the operation of the County Office of Education as an intermediate service unit for all elementary and secondary school districts.

By law, every child in California is assured of a quality education. Local school districts are responsible for providing such education specific to the laws and regulations established by the California legislature and the State Department of Education.

The County Superintendent serves as a facilitator in activities between other governmental and support agencies. Resources of neighboring counties are coordinated in an effort to expand all available services.

The Superintendent works closely with federal legislators to assure maximum gain for funds to provide additional service dollars for the children in San Benito County. The primary mission of the County Office of Education is to provide services to children.
