About the Employer

TECA is one of 18 charter schools operating in the city and has been authorized by the San Francisco Unified School District since 2010. Originally authorized in 2001 as a Kindergarten through fifth-grade charter school, TECA expanded to include sixth grade in 2004 following a unanimous vote by the California State Board of Education, its authorizer at the time. The school continued to grow, adding seventh grade in 2005 and becoming a full Kindergarten through eighth-grade program in 2006. In 2011, TECA transitioned to an independent nonprofit organization governed by a local board, a structure it maintains today.
