SoCal SOS Workgroups

CAPACITY BUILDING WORKGROUPS

At the commencement of our Geographic Lead Agency work, the five county offices convened in Fall 2019 to collaborate around a shared theory of action. This collaboration resulted in the development of cross-county workgroups focused on key priorities in data culture, continuous improvement, and equity.

In Fall 2020, as the Statewide System of Support expanded to meet evolving local and statewide needs, the SoCal SOS continuous improvement workgroup transitioned from a single consolidated workgroup to two separate workgroups. This shift strengthened regional alignment in support of Data, Differentiated Assistance, and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), as well as the Comprehensive Support and Improvement process. 

As regional needs and priorities continue to evolve, SoCal SOS adapts its collaborative efforts to address emerging areas of focus. The current workgroups include Comprehensive Support and Improvement, Data/Differentiated Assistance/LCAP, and Multilingual Learners. Established in 2025 in response to regional trends and needs, the Multilingual Learners workgroup reflects SoCal SOS's ongoing commitment to addressing emerging priorities across the region.
