There is currently one 35 hour per week, 10 month per year vacancy available at TRACE Alternative School (Area E). TRACE is a part of the San Diego Unified School District but is more than a school. TRACE is an educational support network designed to assist young adult students with disabilities, ages 18-22, as they transition from high school to adult life. This is a promotional/open opportunity, which means that current monthly-salaried employees receive precedence over other candidates on the eligible list.
