About EdTec

EdTec was founded in 2001 by Joshua Newman to serve charter schools' back-office business service needs. Josh recognizes that like any small business, charter schools need an experienced administrative staff with specialized business skills but cannot afford to bring that staff on board.

EdTec was founded to be the "business office" for independent charter schools and provide small schools with the business expertise they require. By serving multiple clients, EdTec has the economies of scale to hire experienced personnel who specialize in different areas of school management and can develop benchmarks of best practices in school management.

EdTec has assisted over 150 charter schools since 2001. EdTec also is a partner and sponsor of the California Charter Schools Association, providing consulting services.

Josh was recently re-elected to serve on the California Charter School Association council, a body that helps set policy for the charter school movement in California.
