SF segregation isn't accidental—it's structural violence targeting neighborhood schools and Black leadership. We demand full family agency across SFUSD. 🔗 Read Dr. Vanessa's full piece: ppssf.org/news/2026/10/22/st… #SFUSD #SFPublicSchools

Hint: it’s families in rich neighborhoods. Enrollment policy option C — Supt. Su’ preference, approved by the Board last week — eliminates the possibility that even one kid from a lower income part of town could attend a rich neighborhood’s school. What a relief!

San Francisco public schools offer an amazing variety of language options. One of the very few cities in the country that does this. The new enrollment system proposals could wind up moving language programs to other schools or even cutting them.

Calling all SFUSD budget nerds! Also parents and community members who want to look into how SFUSD spends (and doesn’t spend) its funds.
Parents for Public Schools (PPS)-San Francisco@ppssfOct 5
Where are SFUSD’s budget dollars actually going? 🧵👇 Despite $85M in recent spending cuts ($70M impacting school programs & staff), analysis shows SFUSD is holding onto massive surpluses—projected at $180M unspent by 2028-29.
Graphic featuring a quote by Noah Sloss, Regional Director of SF, under the "Parents for Public Schools" logo. The text details how a school district is allegedly using $111.5 million from a surplus moved into Fund 17 to fund salary and benefit increases for the 2026 labor agreement.

Youth Commission statement from PPSSF
Parents for Public Schools (PPS)-San Francisco@ppssfSep 21
Media coverage focused on headcount, but the missing piece is public infrastructure. SF public school students rely daily on Muni, public safety networks, & CTE/SF YouthWorks career pathways. Their lived experiences are vital for advising city leaders.
Press release graphic by Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco titled "Ensure excellence for a democratic institution." The text calls on Mayor Daniel Lurie and the Board of Supervisors to address a complete lack of public school student representation on the Youth Commission, citing the San Francisco City Charter's mandate for underrepresented communities and outlining key demands for immediate meetings, institutionalized appointments, and charter enforcement.

Evaluating governance in action is one key piece: 6 of 11 SFUSD Board questions lacked time-bound periods or concrete metrics, while others strayed into operational details like staffing. Strong oversight requires data-driven, strategic focus. Read ⬇️ bit.ly/46VbU65
