Lake County Regional Office of Education

Public school students have wants or needs that a school district cannot satisfy with taxpayer dollars. We can help.

We support school districts in Lake County to build/restructure Foundations focused on helping students start their school day ready to learn.

We help you create & develop a platform to support your students.

We know that there are students in Lake County who need assistance paying for food, fees or basic necessities. We are here to help alleviate their stress so they can focus on school.
