About CCETC

The California County Educational Technology Consortium (CCETC) has worked together for 40 years to implement future-directed media services and content delivery solutions. It is the CCETC vision to INSPIRE, EMPOWER, and TRANSFORM. We believe that active and collaborative participation within the CCETC community progresses us forward into the future and best serves our constituents and the California K-12 community.

CCETC was founded in 1982 and has established an unbroken record of building sustainable library and media services in a rapidly changing educational and technological landscape. We are the largest K-12 media and technology consortium in the country and attribute our success to the organization's collaborative nature. Our members and representatives sit on local, county, regional, state, and national educational committees and professional organizations and work with other leaders to extend rich learning resources into all teaching and learning environments through emerging technologies.

We invite you join our team as we strive to meet the dynamic teaching and learning needs of the K-12 community.

Brian Thomas

Brian Thomas — Tuolumne County

When Brian is not scaling high peaks in Yosemite, or camping with his family, he can be found creating engaging activities for students. Have you ever seen an alevin growing into a baby salmon? Brian set up a live cam on a fish tank this spring to share the salmon life cycle with students and teachers. Need online learning activities? Brian is full of ideas to keep students learning.

Leadership Roles of Member Counties

The California County Educational Technology Consortium (CCETC) is comprised of members representing county education offices from across the state of California. Member counties collaboratively share the responsibilities of conducting the business of the consortium and the operation of CaliforniaStreaming. Consortium leadership is shared by representatives from each member county.

The Stanislaus County Office of Education is the Lead Education Agency (LEA) for CCETC. The LEA negotiates and maintains contracts and provides fiscal oversight.

CCETC has three working committees: CaliforniaStreaming, Collection Development and Management, and Administration. Annually, each committee chair and participating members sets goals, manages allotted expenses, and conducts regular meetings.

The members elect the leadership for the consortium. Each member county has one voting representative.
