Winning the School Board this November! Four seats are coming up for election this November -- a number of candidates have filed to run. We're kicking off our endorsement process soon ... what questions would you like us to ask the candidates?

We sincerely hope Oakland School district will learn from the San Francisco situation and return to offering Algebra 1 in 8th grade. Public schools need to do all they can to support kids from disadvantaged backgrounds … not handicap them further.

EDITORIAL: City College of SF’s accreditation is once again at risk, its chancellor is leaving & its budget outlook is bleak. The Board of Trustees needs to stop living in la-la land, end its political gamesmanship & make tough choices to keep CCSF alive. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
“The most consistent thing about grading is inconsistency,” Austin said, adding that how students are graded varies by school and by teacher and is often archaic and arbitrary.

As I wrote about before, my autistic son was subjected to seclusions and restraints in his SFUSD elementary school. SFUSD did not report these to the California Department of Education (CDE), as required by law. Today I'm going to talk about what is required to be reported. 🧵
SFUSD: ✅ CAN move quickly on consolidating and closing schools ❌ CANNOT move quickly on fixing broken lottery system that encourages families to explore alternatives 🤔
There is a consistent trend where the people who want to block kids from taking algebra blatantly lie about what the sources they cite are saying

Long school closures were not “anti-racist”. They were a form of systemic racism against nonwhite low income kids and their families by “progressives”.Majority nonwhite schools now suffer the greatest increase in absenteeism since COVID. @sfguardians
"The district won’t use the legal settlement to add any staffing or resources, but rather cover the cost of current staff, officials said, freeing up funds to reduce potential cuts elsewhere."

For decades, Jo Boaler appears to have systematically misrepresented research to fit her policy agenda of pushing watered-down math on public school students, all while sending her own kids to a $48,000/yr private school with a rigorous math curriculum. Classic. My latest 👇

@sfguardians Context: SFUSD has fewer than 5 students per employee (10k employees for 50k students), and costs taxpayers $27k per student per year. 1. What is a reasonable teacher:student ratio? 2. What is a reasonable admin:teacher ratio? 3. Do you believe in economies of scale?
@sfguardians As significant budgets are being cut, unions, parents, and individual school communities will be in uproar. How will you respond to this public pressure? [Hint: State control is not a good option and that’s where this is headed if SFUSD doesn’t balance the budget.]
@sfguardians Did they support algebra in 8th grade? Which comes first, DEI or academic merit?
@sfguardians Ask whether the candidates support merit based admissions at Lowell & SOTA
@sfguardians How do you plan on helping solve the budget gap?
@sfguardians Ask if they will pledge not to run for higher office within the first 6 years of their prospective terms.
@sfguardians Did they support the recall of BOE members? Will they avoid performative measures and debates and focus on pulling SFUSD out of its alarming downward spiral?

@sfguardians They will not, or at least have told parents as recently as last month they have no plans to change and offer algebra in 8th grade again. 😞
My Algebra teacher was Mrs. Kaid at the Garret Morgan Cleveland School of Science, an inner city school of working class students that was 95% Black and Brown. We all learned Algebra in the 8th grade. It was hard for many of us. Some people failed, but then they passed. No…
