SF Board of Education calls emergency meeting in closed session to consult with head of Public Health

As COVID-19 becomes more widespread in San Francisco, SFUSD leaders are working closely with the City of San Francisco to ensure the well-being of students, families, and staff. The City has declared a local health emergency and made aggressive recommendations to curb the outbreak of COVID-19 but has not recommended closing schools. City and school district leaders are working together to identify measures to keep the City’s public schools open.

Given current guidance from health experts and what is known at this time, SFUSD is reopening Lowell on Wednesday, March 11.

Understanding that when educators live in the community in which they work it promotes school stability, community involvement and stronger ties between teachers and families in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), the SF Board of Education approved a resolution to establish policies and procedures to potentially develop more affordable housing for educators on its properties.
