Kern County Child Development Centers

Kern County Materials Lab is a division of the Kern County Superintendent of Schools (KCSOS) that offers a wide range of programs and services to support students, parents, and school districts in Bakersfield, CA. They provide alternative education, early childhood education, special education, and charter school options, as well as community partnerships and truancy reduction initiatives. With a focus on innovative and impactful schools, they also offer professional learning opportunities and support in areas such as science education, safer schools, and teacher development. The Kern County Board of Education governs the budgetary and specific student issues of the Kern County Materials Lab, with seven elected board members representing different geographical regions of the county. The board meets monthly to make major policy decisions, review inter-district transfer appeals, and provide a platform for pupils expelled by local school districts to appeal their expulsion. The lab is committed to continuous improvement and supports educators through programs like the California Educators Together initiative and the Clear Administrative Services Credential program.Generated from the website
