- Site-Based Decision-Making and Weighted-Student Formula.
-
SFUSD has instituted a Weighted-Student Formula to distribute resources in a targeted way within the District. Elected School Site Councils at schools now are making budget and program decisions. We are committed to expanding and strengthening this programs through training, re-allocation of new and existing resources and looking at best practices inside and outside the District.
- Parent Involvement
-
After twenty years of rhetoric about involving parents, we are finally seeing the School District investing money and human resources in supporting services for parents. This is only the beginning; we must explore all avenues for parents ot be more involved, like serving on School Site Councils.
- School Funding
-
Publis schools in California are under-funded and have been since the short-sighted passage of Proposition 13 in the late seventies. Getting adequate funding for schools is a constant challenge in which we need to engage the entire community.
