About the Texas Public Charter Schools Association

The Texas Public Charter Schools Association (TPCSA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was created in 2008 to unify, support and grow the charter movement. TPCSA’s mission is to support and advocate for a policy and regulatory climate that ensures every student in Texas has access to ever-improving public school options.

What we do:

TPCSA is committed to making sure every child in Texas has access to a high-quality public school that will set them on the path to future success. We tell the charter story and fight for fair policy and a political climate that allows charters to flourish. 

How we do it:

Our Core Values are listed below, and they are exhibited in all that we do:

• Excellence – We go for gold. We surpass expectations and strive to deliver the best services.
• Hustle – We jump hurdles. Whatever it is, we get it done by removing obstacles and being resourceful.
• Drive – Our gas pedals are floored. We move full speed ahead.
• Optimism – We move mountains. Our goals are lofty and we believe nothing is insurmountable.

TPCSA is a fully-remote work environment with a dedicated team of staff across the state. We place a heavy emphasis on teamwork, celebrating it weekly, and regularly encouraging cross-team collaboration. TPCSA is also Great Place to Work certified. To foster a sense of teamwork we:

• Have a robust onboarding process that includes in-depth team meetings with every department in the organization, allowing new hires to get to know everyone on staff and understand the organization as a whole. 
• Connect briefly as a team each morning for our Daily Huddle where all staff share a bit about their day.
• Build connection time into staff meetings. Everyone has the opportunity to converse (one-on-one) with a different team member each meeting.
• Provide resources for staff to schedule coffee/lunch together.
• Schedule quarterly in person staff meetings and social events.
• Create space for appreciation and recognition through our Weekly Sunshine emails, our bi-monthly Driven Dragon (similar to employee of the month), celebration of birthdays and work anniversaries, and other celebrations throughout the year.
