Chicago led the charge for Sustainable Community Schools, and it’s time for San Francisco to follow suit! These 6 elements of Sustainable Community Schools are essential for us to have schools which are equitable and just for ALL students.

All students deserve schools with comprehensive support and resources. The Sustainable Community Schools model provides this for our students! Read more about implementing SCS in SF here: www.sanfranciscoeducationalliance.org/school-closu...

Real change starts with real voices🗣️ What challenges or causes matter most to you right now?

🚨URGENT🚨Today Congress will consider cutting $12 BILLION from our public schools — eliminating entire programs, and slashing funds for title I and IDEA. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPS AND DEMAND TO STOP THE CUTS HERE:

Our kids deserve better!!! Mission Education Center, a school for newly arrived Spanish-speaking immigrants opened the school year without a principal, without teachers, and without enough staff. SFUSD must fully fund and fully staff our schools NOW. www.kqed.org/news/1205357...

SB 414 is a terrible bill that must be stopped. Instead of reforming charter laws, it makes them worse. It protects charter operators, weakens accountability, and opens the door to another massive scandal like the $400M A3 fraud.

Big thanks to everyone who showed up to the board meeting yesterday, your voices matter! And thank you @avalossf for taking this picture & supporting public schools! #nonewcharters #publicschools #boardmeeting #education

THANK YOU to everyone who came to our Back to School Public Education Meetup! We had a blast sharing our hopes and visions for San Francisco public schools while nurturing our community! Keep an eye out on your emails & our socials for our next event, you won’t want to miss it!

Charter schools take money away from the public school system and provide unstable, unaccountable, and inequitable alternatives We say: NO new charter schools!!! Our students deserve better. progressive.org/public-schoo...

It’s back to school season!📚✏️ Imagine a world where our students returned to fully funded schools, wouldn’t it be so nice?

City College opens doors, provides opportunities, and improves lives. We must ensure that CCSF stays well funded so that students are able to utilize resources, get the classes they need, and are set up for success for the rest of their life.

Black students with disabilities need SUPPORT, not suspension! #ChangeThisPicture

HANDS OFF OUR CHILDREN’S DATA!!! Keep Flock out of SFUSD! therecord.media/flock-safety...

The Trump administration just unfroze BILLIONS in education funds that were on hold. That’s money for after-school programs, teacher training, and more. THANK YOU to everyone who called their reps! This is what people power looks like. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Amazing graphic from @evolve_ca Ethnic Studies helps students see themselves—their cultures, histories, and identities as part of the bigger story. It creates space for students who have been left out of the narrative for too long. In a city as diverse as SF, removing Ethnic Studies is erasure.

A new NCCSA report tells the truth about charter schools: They’re a grift funded by corporate interests to privatize education. Our students deserve better! They siphon money from our public schools for for-profit alternatives w/ little-to-no oversight. networkforpubliceducation.org/wp-content/u...

It was so wonderful to meet and be in community with everyone at Sunday Streets this past Sunday! If you weren't able to make it, don't worry! We will be having a Public Education Meetup at Casements on Tuesday, August 19th. We would love to see you all there! 🌸

RELEASE THE FUNDS! Our students deserve inclusive, fully-funded public schools -- not more cuts from Trump's puppets.

Sunday Streets is THIS SUNDAY, July 20th! Come be in community with us at the annual street fair on Valencia! Children are welcome - we will have a fun activity for people of all ages! We’re excited to see you there! #sanfrancisco #sundaystreets

The right-wing assault on public education is here! SCOTUS just greenlit dismantling the Dept. of Ed & Trump’s freezing $6.8B in school funding. We must defend public education. Our kids, teachers, and future are on the line!!! www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

We like the term "school profiteers"

Last night at BOE, several mostly Venezuelan parents who stay at the BVHM shelter begged the district to improve shelter conditions. Their kids - students at BVHM - don't get enough sleep, they don't have time to get ready before class, and parents & younger kids sit in a park all day

Heartbreaking and infuriating to hear immigrant families at the school board who stay at the BVHM shelter saying that getting kicked out at 6 am means their kids fall asleep in class and they have nowhere to go during the day. Asking our Sanctuary City to do better

Join our partners Journey4Justice for their next Power Series event, a national call on economic justice and the racial wealth gap standing4equity.org #EduSky

We connected w/ the Houston folks in this @haveyouheard.bsky.social episode and held a solidarity read-aloud. The TEA takeover policies are slowly happening here in SF, thanks to a certain "governance" consultant. Where he goes, schools close. #EduSky

When SFEA launched, one of our projects was liveblogging SFUSD board meetings, something Parents for Public Schools-SF did for years. PPS-SF has seen the same need for oversight that we do and resumed their robust #BoardWatch program. We encourage folks to follow them across platforms www.ppssf.org
