The California Teachers Association filed an unfair labor practice charge Tuesday against the High Tech High charter school network for firing a San Diego-area teacher who has been helping to organize a union throughout the network.
Jared Hutchins, who taught government at the High Tech High North County campus, was fired Thursday, about a week after he and other teachers announced they were forming a union and hours after Hutchins was quoted in an sdnews.com article about the new union, called the High Tech High Educators Collective.
High Tech High is one of San Diego County’s largest charter school networks, with 16 elementary and secondary schools and about 6,300 students. It is known for its nontraditional approaches, including its emphasis on real-world, project-based learning and its graduate school for educators.
