Collins, López, and Moliga are out. The voters have overwhelmingly spoken. San Francisco parents and supporters made their voices heard on Tuesday and the message is loud and clear: the San Francisco Unified School Board needs a new direction.

Thank you to all of our parents. This movement was created because parents and families were continually ignored and dismissed. Last Tuesday validated the hard work–parents’ tireless advocacy–that has been building momentum for over a year now. Parents are never to be ignored again.

Budget woes grow
There’s nothing easy about where we’re at with the SFUSD budget — we’re mid-shift now with moving from budgeting for 57,000 students to budgeting for 50,000 students. Our rational minds hear and understand comments like at this week’s school board meeting from state Budget Babysitter, Mr. Elliot Duchon, “I know this is a painful step, but it’s a necessary one.” Still, our hearts just sink, hearing public comments from families and teachers at Sheridan, Cobb, Lakeshore.

Yep. What a month.

But shifting mindsets… HAPPY 100 DAY!! We can’t believe how different *this* 100 Day feels compared to last year’s. Do you remember our “100 Days and Counting” email campaign? Hundreds of your emails flooded the inboxes of SFUSD leadership and school board, with stories of desperation and pleas to get our classrooms reopened for struggling students. We’re grateful to be in a better place, on this 100 Day.
