Mayor London Breed on Friday announced her three new appointments to the San Francisco Board of Education in the wake of last month's recall election.
“I feel really good because, again, it’s not just about their children; it’s about equity, it’s about the achievement gap, it’s about the kids who are being left behind, it’s about changes to the school system,” Breed said. “It’s about making sure that regardless of parent advocates or any advocates, that those kids who have no voice or parents who may not be able to speak English have a voice in this school system.
“And so, now with a good, solid school board, I think that we are going to be headed in the right direction,” the mayor added.San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Vincent Matthews was also present and spoke after the board members were sworn in. “I welcome our three new commissioners,” Matthews said. “I look forward to working with all of our commissioners to address the challenges and opportunities before us in collaboration with our district staff, families, students and community members. While there are many, many urgent and important matters to realize our mission, at this moment in time, our students and families are counting on district leaders to stay focused on these priorities.
Matthew went on to list areas that need to be prioritized, including safe learning environments, “high quality” learning experiences, a “fiscally responsible” budget, and picking his successor.
