Did You Know? 🤔SFUSD Board is implementing a "Policy Diet"! By focusing on "big picture" strategies and less on daily operations, we can empower management and enhancing governance. Analyzing their own policies ensures effectiveness and alignment with goals. #build #trust #ps
Text graphic titled "Did You Know?" highlights a "Policy Diet" by the SFUSD Board of Education, focusing on high-level strategies, reducing operational involvement, and policy analysis to support desired outcomes. Includes hashtags: #build #trust #publicschools.

📢 Did You Know?

The SFUSD Board of Education currently has an NOT MET grade for Values of the Community.
Why does it matter? Because skipping a full, open Superintendent search sidelines the voices of students, families, educators, and community members.
#build #trust #publicschools
A graphic with a large headline that reads “Did You Know?” next to a big red “X.” Below it, text states: “SFUSD Board of Education has an UNMET grade for Values of the Community. Why? The board leadership’s recommendation for a permanent appointment of the Superintendent without a comprehensive search undermines the voices of students, staff, parents, and the community—whose values and experiences should shape our district’s leadership. This approach limits transparency, shared understanding, and community trust, and it risks stifling collaboration, meaningful governance, and the full potential of our students and district.” At the bottom are hashtags: #build #trust #publicschools. Background includes blurred collage-style images of people and school-related visuals.
