School Board Recall: Down to Wire in Final Month
Butterflies in the stomach are common when anticipating the start of any school year. But there’s high anxiety this year as parents and kids hope for a return to real, in-person learning.
Will the delta variant derail getting kids back in the classroom? So far, public health officials say being in school is the safest and best place for a child’s well-being.
Yet anxious parents don’t trust that San Francisco’s public school board will put children first — especially after it spent the past year more concerned about renaming schools than safely reopening them.
Our school board suffers from a self-inflicted “crisis of governance.” Reform is needed, which starts with recalling the most problematic school board commissioners.
Well-run public schools are essential for a city to function and thrive. San Francisco’s future depends on being able to retain families, but too many are moving away because of our mismanaged public schools. That’s why every resident should care about the school board.
