Tehama County Department Of Education

What Tehama County Department Of Education does

Tehama County Department of Education (TCDE) is a public county office of education operating under California state law, headquartered at 1135 Lincoln Street, Red Bluff, California. It serves as the statutory regional coordinator and service provider for 13 local school districts, 4 charter schools, and multiple county-operated educational programs across Tehama County's 2,949 square miles, reaching approximately 10,749 students. The department delivers a portfolio of services including administrative support (fiscal services, HR, IT, maintenance and operations), educational services (teacher induction, career technical education teacher preparation, Bridge to College and Career, professional development), student support services (MTSS, English Language Development, SARB attendance programs, school mental health), special education coordination through Tehama County SELPA (serving 1,525 students with disabilities), early childhood programs (State Preschool, Family Child Care Home Education Network, Local Child Care Planning Council), alternative education (Tehama Oaks High School juvenile court school, Adult Education), and afterschool enrichment via the SERRF program. Its underlying technology is standard educational infrastructure — network services, employee portals, and student information systems — with no proprietary platforms or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.

TCDE is funded through state education apportionment (LCFF), federal education grants, and local property taxes, and provides services at no direct cost to students. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by the Tehama County Board of Education (five board members: Leah Fredrickson, Elizabeth Gonzalez, Carolyn Steffan, Pamela M. Begrin, Tracy Hopper) and led by Superintendent Jared Caylor, who was appointed in September 2025. The department's go-to-market motion is community-led: it operates as a mandated public-sector intermediary between the California Department of Education and local districts, with no commercial competitors and a captive institutional customer base. Its customer segments split between end-user students (early childhood through adult, including 8,029 socioeconomically disadvantaged students and 1,936 English learners) and institutional district clients requiring coordination, compliance, and resource support. The organization employs 251-500 staff and is a subsidiary entity under the Tehama County Government.
