Celebrating Educators
At the JCCASAC Conference, we honor outstanding alternative education teachers from county offices of education across California. Each county office of education (COE) nominates one eligible teacher from a court, community, or alternative education school for the Teacher of the Year (TOY). All nominees must meet certain criteria. The JCCASAC board reviews applicants and selects the winner.

All TOY Nominees are expected to attend the event to be recognized.
Rooted in Resilience, Growing Futures
Twice a year, the JCCASAC offers scholarships to court and community school graduates who will be attending college or have passed the GED within the 2026-2027 school year.
The scholarship is intended to pay for tuition and/or books up to $500. Two scholarships are awarded in the southern section and two in the northern section each January and June. Each county may submit two applications per semester (for a total of four in a year).
