The PCOE Promise is a promise we make to each other - that employees will exemplify the workplace expectations set forth by the Placer County Superintendent of Schools Gayle Garbolino-Mojica and that the organization will strive to uphold our workplace culture ideals for its employees.

Superintendent Expectations: Credibility, Excellence, Integrity

Credibility - The quality of being trusted. Credibility is a commitment to truth. How are you demonstrating your credibility in your work?
Excellence - The quality of greatness - the very best. In everything we do, we aim for greatness. Our students and our community partners deserve nothing less.
Integrity - The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. Are you doing the right thing when no one is looking? Do you make the hard choice because you know it's best for kids?

Workplace Culture Ideals: Connected, Supported, Valued
There are also three ideals that we want the organization to uphold for its employees. These are the ideals we strive to achieve.

Connected - Do you feel connected to the greater mission of PCOE? Do you have relationships at work that you value? We want PCOE to be the type of workplace that shares information and empowers employees. We want to be a team.
Supported - Do you have the tools and resources you need to do your job? Are you getting the emotional support you need, and the constructive coaching to help you succeed?
Valued - Do you feel valued in a way that is meaningful for you?
