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.

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.

Threatening legal action towards protestors is a surefire way to turn a small movement into a bigger one. That’s exactly what happened when Superintendent Maria Su threatened the administrators union.

A new book suggests that a powerful force for democracy and against fascism is indeed at work every day, despite all that’s being done to undermine it. And it’s not in the halls of Congress. It’s in public school classrooms.

We cannot return to the days where students with disabilities were institutionalized in dismal conditions. We need to protect special education, fund public schools and programs, and push back on the movement towards school privatization.

Trump is attacking public education in this country, and his latest attack has targeted special education. To counteract this, we must reform Prop. 13 to insulate our education system from the harm Trump can cause.

Conservatives are increasingly critiquing public schools for reducing education to workforce training, a concern that resonates beyond the right. Instead we need a broader vision of schooling—one that fosters curiosity, literature, and shared humanity instead of just preparing kids for jobs.

The Sustainable Community School model is an evidence-based education model that is proven to improve education outcomes. We want more community schools in San Francisco.

House leaders’ new budget slashes billions from public education—gutting funding for low-income students, English learners, teacher training, and community schools. While kids lose vital supports, charter schools walk away with half a billion dollars.
