A recent report from the Brookings Institute concluded that the risks to students and their essential development that come with generative AI use are too high, and unjustifiable.

Strange bedfellows are uniting in the fight against big technology in schools. A coalition is forming with members across party lines, and we are building power to protect our students from AI.

Students are being forced to use AI and excessive technology in schools, but is that really safe? A recent report shows that Google’s AI functions are not safe for children.

California legislators just passed a bill requiring that students are taught by humans, not artificial intelligence. But to truly protect students from Big Tech, we need to take even bolder action.

AI is dangerous for students in a world of increasing isolation. We need to protect our students and young people.

Despite district attempts to block distractions from school devices, students get past them. It’s time we consider the role of 1:1 devices in the classroom.

Young people are sounding the alarm on how AI impacts their mental health, education, and cognition. It’s past time we listen!

California schools have a segregation problem. A new report from The Segregation Tracking Project and Brown’s Promise revealed that California schools are more economically segregated than 40 other states in the United States.

NPE’s newest annual report rates every state on their public school system. This report reveals that rates and support for privatization are an indicator of a state’s willingness to defund its public education system.

California’s persistently low educational rankings reveal the real cost of decades of underfunding.

LAUSD passed a resolution to limit screen time use in classrooms, shifting from the era of the over reliance of technology in classrooms.

The backlash to Big Tech in our schools is real and growing. Parents are organizing and demanding better...and it’s working.

New study coming out of Stanford University confirms: school closures do NOT save money across California districts. Learn more about why, here.

Ai has embedded itself within our schools with the expansion of AI training for millions of teachers. We must instead invest in teachers to support our students, not AI models to train them.   

San Francisco United School District removed Ethic Studies from being a mandatory course for all students but new research shows that Ethnic studies has more of a significant impact that people thought.

What happens to kids when we replace real teachers with machines? This push for robot classrooms puts politics over students and ignores what children actually need to learn and grow.

California is considering making community schools a permanent part of the state’s education funding system, a step that could help ensure more schools have the sustainable resources needed to support students’ needs.

Budget challenges are real, but neighborhood campuses should not be put on the table to solve the district’s instability.

It should not take nearly 50 years to fight for what our educators deserve. Livable wages and access to healthcare should be a baseline for our educators, not an option. We must look to sustainable funding.

At a time when ICE fear is already looming over immigrant families, SFUSD used such fear to call parents and move newcomer students OVERNIGHT.

This "safety" was used by the district as a pretext to carry out budget cuts and now immigrant students paid the price.

A Mission High School senior pushes back on the idea of building housing on SFUSD property, suggesting these privileged ideas overlook students’ lived realities.

Charter schools continue to close at a steady pace, leaving students and families scrambling for support. What’s often framed as “choice” is becoming a cycle of disruption with real consequences for communities.

Even after the school board UNANIMOUSLY voted down a plan that detailed over $100 million in SFUSD budget cuts, Superintendent Maria Su plans to go along with it anyways.

Su is going against the will of educators, administrators, students, families, and the board of education. This is unacceptable! We say: NO LAYOFFS. NO SCHOOL CLOSURES.

Absenteeism isn’t a student failure, it’s the outcome of decades of disinvestment in public schools.

Our communities deserve better than charter schools. Lack of oversight and accountability, pushing out marginalized students, and profit motives are what drive charters.

Inclusion and accountability are central to democratic public education. Charter schools do not uplift our communities in the way we want!

The sustainable community school movement is getting up and running, and its outcomes are promising. We need to expand access to community schools across all of San Francisco.

A rally preceding Tuesday’s school board meeting and the efforts of education advocates lead to the Board of Education unanimously voting no on a plan to drastically cut student resources and close schools.

Data can be a useful tool, but are we providing teachers with too much information? Some teachers are getting overwhelmed and stressed due to an influx of unhelpful data about their students.

As SF schools face massive cuts, educators delivered a 99% strike mandate.

Public education helps to break down barriers and uplift students. The school privatization movement aims to destroy this public good and replace it with a system that funnels profits into the hands of the few.
