Board of Education Community Conversations
The Board of Education is committed to engaging community members in the kind of two-way dialogue that can’t be accomplished in regular board meetings. To that end, this is a second in a series of community conversations to occur at regular intervals throughout SY 23-24. The purpose of these second meetings is to discuss: Attendance.
The meetings will be held on Nov. 28 in person (5:30-7pm at Bessie Carmichael Pre K-8 School), Nov. 30 via Zoom (5:30-7pm at sfusd.zoom.us/j/85937432964), and Dec. 2 in person (10:30-12pm at Alice Fong Yu Alternative School).

This calendar notes the major topics and decisions that will be discussed at each board meeting during the 2023-24 school year. The focus for each meeting is determined based on required topics that must be presented to the Board of Education (i.e. interim financial reports), commitments the district has made (i.e. recommendations for parent advisory councils), and our progress monitoring efforts.
