The Yolo County Superintendent, in conjunction with superintendents of the school districts within the county, has developed a plan for providing education services to all expelled pupils residing in Yolo County.  This plan was adopted by each of our school districts’ governing boards as well as the County Board of Education and was submitted to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The mission of the Einstein Education Center is to offer an alternative competency-based route to a high school diploma for youth who have left school or are not succeeding in traditional high schools. The Einstein Education Center's formula for success combines high expectations for every student, a competency based approach in which students progress at their own pace, and opportunities to make connections between what is learned in school and the world of work. This is a Diploma Plus School where students make connections to their teachers with small class sizes and a personalized learning environment. Technology skills are emphasized as we prepare students for college/university life and/ or a challenging career.
