The Counseling and Education Program (CEP) provides special education services and integrated counseling for approximately 110 elementary, middle and secondary school students who have been identified with significant emotional and behavioral needs. Students are referred to the CEP from any of 16 participating school districts of the Contra Costa County SELPA and neighboring SELPAs of Mt. Diablo and San Ramon Valley school districts.

The CEP is based at the Floyd I. Marchus School in Concord and extends to the LMC Transition class located in Antioch. Marchus School serves a K-12 population while the LMC class provides students ages 18-22 an opportunity to continue their academic program while simultaneously helping students integrate into the community through a curriculum that includes independent living and employment skills.
