Leader Accountability
When parents come together, we can make sure the School Board, District leaders, and City officials keep their promises to our kids.

Board of Education Accountability
We break down every BOE report in straight-forward language, mobilize parents to attend the meetings, and hold the Board accountable to strong student focused governance.
The Board of Education is made up of seven elected members who serve four-year terms. They set policies for all SFUSD schools, establish educational goals, approve curriculum, and manage the district’s budget. They also handle staff appointments, purchases, property decisions, and union contracts. Learn more at the SFUSD Board of Education website.
Take action at the City Level!
Although the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor of San Francisco do not hold official power over SFUSD, their positions allow them to exert significant influence. Their endorsements, budgetary decisions, and community leadership can shape public opinion and policy directions affecting the district.
A great place to start with broader citywide advocacy is getting to know your district supervisor. Who’s that, you say? Our Board of Supervisors (like a City Council) includes representatives from 11 districts across our city. Their mission includes responding to the needs of the people of the City and County of San Francisco and establishing relevant policies.
