The goal should be simple: more families should be able to attend a good public school close to home, while preserving meaningful choices like language immersion and specialized program.
When people’s lives are made more difficult they get upset. When a parent sees their child is not getting access to classes they need, attend schools across the City but then the roads are closed and they are dismissed with, “Hey, ride a bike, take Muni, walk!” they become frustrated.
As one of the plaintiffs who sued SFUSD to bring Algebra back, I feel compelled to speak out because I can’t stand by while people erase the truth. That truth is this: Supervisor Joel Engardio played a critical role in finally pushing the district to act after years of delay.
Let’s be clear: Joel Engardio did not lead the fight to bring Algebra back. He did not start the movement. He joined after being persuaded by community advocates, including SF Guardians, who did the groundwork.
We’re at a critical moment, and we can’t afford more mismanagement. With your vote, I’ll bring fiscal discipline, a focus on student achievement, and a commitment to better serve our diverse communities.
I am a candidate for the SFUSD Board of Education
When I started my campaign three months ago, I was told that the school board race is down ballot and not many people will care or take the time to vote. I believe that this would be a mistake; the school board election this November is critical, and we cannot afford to get it wrong.

In August, schools across the City welcomed students back. While public education builds our future generations, and we all want to be optimistic about their future, the reality is the ways that both the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and City College of San Francisco (CCSF) have been operating is greatly disappointing. These districts’ administrations have not been doing right by our teachers, students and our families.
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) filed documents in civil court on Dec. 16 responding to allegations made by two women who claim they were sexually abused as students by former George Washington High School Athletic Director Lawrence Young-Yet Chan.
centering public education. Let’s all Vote Yes on A, B, and C and Recall these three Commissioners. Let’s do this vote on Tuesday, Feb. 15 for the 49,000+ students.
The SF Board of Education is up to more shenanigans, now creating a new zone-based school assignment policy that focuses more on neighborhoods but assesses the block-by-block racial/income/English proficiency make-up of zones.
We have elections, people elected these three members and now we have a group of millionaires funding this recall. Just like the money the State wasted on a recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom by another group of Republican millionaires.
Their efforts are anti-democratic and force our local government to spend funds on elections instead of, say, fighting addiction or Muni.
While I neither voted for nor supported the three individuals up for recall, and while I strongly disagree with many of their positions — such as spending a million dollars to paint over a WPA socially critical historical fresco painted by an Ashkenazic immigrant — they do not deserve recall. This is a misguided effort.
The San Francisco Unified School District’s (SFUSD) plan to cover the controversial “Life of George Washington” murals at his namesake high school in the Richmond District was derailed after a judge ruled that the way the district went about it violated state law.
