Bright Spot

SFUSD's nonprofit organization Spark* SF Public Schools has raised more than $5 million for its COVID-19 Response Fund to support the district in providing free meals and technology to facilitate distance learning for students. Spark's corporate partners have also donated meal pick-up bags, backpacks and school supplies, and technology to support SFUSD's Family Resource Link. COVID-19 has doubled the district’s projected deficit. Every donation counts, and sharing this within your personal and professional networks can make a significant difference as well. To learn more, please visit: sparksfpublicschools.org/donate

Warm regards,
Superintendent Dr. Vincent Matthews
