Terry McAteer recently retired as the County Superintendent of Schools for Inyo County. Prior to that he served in the same capacity for Nevada County, which is outside of Sacramento. Over the years he has melded his varied experiences as a doctoral recipient from the University of San Francisco, a superintendent, a publicly elected official, and even as a high school social studies teacher early in his career, to become one of the pioneers in the charter school field and one who is deeply committed to creating educational reform for underserved communities.
