Position Papers
Closing the Achievement Gap
Achievement of all students has improved since 2008, but the district must redouble its efforts to ensure that African-American, Latino and Pacific Islander students are graduating--college- and career-ready--in greater numbers than they are now.
Managing the District's Budget
Budgeting is about making choices -- sometimes tough choices -- and holding to priorities when you can't do everything you want or need to do.
Improving Student Nutrition
San Francisco deserves a school meal program equal to the city's reputation as a food mecca. It's time for the district to lead a major initiative on improving the quality and freshness of meals served to students.
