Annual School Planning Summit on Saturday, March 2

Families and staff (and students in middle and high schools) are expected and encouraged to help their schools set priorities by participating in the school’s planning process. Even if you can't make it to the summit, find out more about what you can expect with your school’s planning process.

Attend the School Planning Summit on Saturday, March 2 for an opportunity to work together on your school's Balanced Scorecard, academic plan and budget for the 2019-20 school year. Talk to your school’s principal about attending and other ways you can participate in your school’s planning process.

2019-20 and 2020-21 academic calendars

Calendars for the 2019-20 school year and the 2020-21 school year are now available.

School safety and emergency preparation

The district has a comprehensive crisis plan in the event of a school or citywide emergency. All schools have emergency response plans and teams as well and are expected to practice safety drills. If an emergency does occur at a school, we will notify parents as quickly as possible using a variety of means, including text, email and phone call.

SFUSD budget and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)

SFUSD’s LCAP describes our goals, strategic actions, and how we are using resources to support our students. The LCAP Task Force includes district staff, labor partners, families, and community organizations, and actively reaches out to engage SFUSD stakeholders. LCAP engagement events include public forums, conversations at schools as they develop site plans (their Balanced Score Cards), and focus groups with community partners.

School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs)

Updated school accountability report cards (SARCs) for every district school are now available and can be downloaded from individual school profile pages.

Guide to parent- and community-funded programs for schools

SFUSD is changing some procedures for programs provided at schools through parent or community groups. These guides offer a general overview of procedures for contributions by parent and community groups for school trust accounts and an FAQ on navigating SFUSD policies, including how to tell if you need a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or a facilities use permit.

MOUs for community-based organizations and agencies

Before an organization can provide services to SFUSD students, staff and/or families in a school, you need a formal agreement with SFUSD that describes your services in detail, and ensures your agency fulfills legal requirements that protect our students, your organization, and the district as a whole.

  • When services are provided free to the school or SFUSD you need a "Memorandum of Understanding," or MOU, which must be approved by district staff and the Board of Education.
  • Organizations may charge fees to families for services provided at a school outside the regular school day. An MOU is also required for these programs.
  • If the school or SFUSD pays for services, the agreement is through a contract.

Please review our Frequently Asked Questions, and visit our MOU information page for more details.
