In a help session last week, there were several teachers moving to San Francisco begging for documentation of their job to show to landlords so they could get an apartment.

At John O'Connell HS, lucha libre is key for many students' quintessential teen experiences. It's also a throwback for parents + friends who grew up watching the sport

"It’s much more than a school event—it’s an important event for the Mission itself."

SFUSD / Dr. Matt Wayne just sent out an email stating school will be in session for the remainder of the week.

"We are taking the necessary precautions to prepare for the storm so that our schools can be safe spaces for learning, that students can receive essential services, and so that students are in the care of an adult." #sfusd #cawx #AR

NEW: A San Bruno teacher resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct in the 1990s, including kissing & groping a 17 y/o

nearly 20 years later, SFUSD found out about it when students and staff at Aptos alleged sexual harassment against the same teacher https://sfstandard.com/education/teacher-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-was-allowed-to-quietly-leave-two-bay-area-schools/ #sfusd #sanbruno #aptos #capuchinohighschool #sexualmisconduct #sexualharassment

This story was 6 months in the making, beginning after the Chan case. Even then, going through a (still ongoing) PRA request, there are simply some cases where we don't and maybe won't know the extent of the allegations #gwhs #sfusd #athleticdirector #sexualabuse https://sfstandard.com/education/george-washington-high-athletic-director-molested-student-groomed-classmates-for-years-lawsuit-claims/

NEW: Since 2017, SFUSD has entered into at least 19 resignation agreements amid sexual misconduct allegations

This allows the accused to quietly depart & protects the district but critics say enables behavior to repeat elsewhere. w/Matthew Kupfer & Matt Smith

Apparently, the SFUSD believes in regression to the lowest common demoninator when it comes to math education for middle school students.

So, no AP math until kids reach the 10th grade so that they can all "learn" nothing together. WTF???

The Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy elementary school in the Castro was informed that one of its two kindergarten classrooms will close due to low enrollment and parents not ranking it as their first choice on applications. Parents and educators are frustrated with the school district’s decision to cut classroom capacity rather than allowing schools to define seats themselves.

Check out the latest data on where cuts were made in 2022.

Everett Middle School's schoolyard is slated to get a $3 million makeover.

When asked what he wants in a home, an 11-year-old's answer was simple: “To eat well, be stable, not have to get up at 6 a.m.”

SF is seeing an uptick in families experiencing #homelessness, and while more beds and rent vouchers will come online this year, the city "is in a very precarious position"

Tip from a SFUSD parent. Apply to your attendance area school in your first or second pick. If you aren't happy with your school you can transfer in the first and second semesters. The chances that you get your first / second pick in the lotteries is high. #sfusd

Friends of Lowell members, who are also Lowell Alumni Association board members, “are both litigious and focused on preserving Lowell [High School]’s status quo" and have moved $250k in a potential litigation fund to sue SFUSD.

Friends of Lowell co-founder Lee Cheng, praised “brave young man” Kyle Rittenhouse upon his acquittal for shooting dead two people in Wisconsin.

Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8 parents and teachers gathered in an auditorium and on Zoom to learn how to access free lead testing for their children.

But throughout the hourlong gathering, city officials were focused on preemptively sidestepping responsibility.

Fifth-graders gasped when their teacher Adriana Álvarez’s science experiment proved that there were high levels of lead in their classroom at Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8.

Similar safety concerns have been reported in the past and underscore the failure to proactively address and renovate the school.
