Fifteen educators across the county were selected from the individual and team categories for nine awards totaling $6,500.
Starting as Open Classroom in the 1970’s, Ventura Charter School of Global Arts & Education launched in 2006 as a tuition-free public charter school within the Ventura County Office of Education.
