The California Department of Education’s interve

The California Department of Education’s intervention in SFUSD’s March budget qualification has the potential to directly oppose the interests of students, educators and our school communities. It is in our students’ best interests to have educators ready to educate in August when we start the 2024-2025 school year. SFUSD was working to ensure those conditions by rescinding layoffs in the midst of growing vacancies, in order to place qualified educators in students’ classrooms. Having inherited decades of fiscal mismanagement, the current SFUSD management has finally committed to cutting central office department budgets, reducing expensive unrepresented central management positions and streamlining programs and services.

By issuing this downgrade, the California Department of Education Superintendent Tony Thurmond is putting the district in a position to pressure SFUSD to layoff experienced educators who will only need to be rehired in September in order to fulfill the expectations of bureaucratic budgetary practices that have nothing to do with our students’ right to a high quality public education.

Historically, state intervention in public education enables a small number of unelected individuals to impose a set of standards that center corporate financial practices NOT students and school communities. The Board of Education has been engaging in a community process in regards to restructuring and realigning resources that will now be under the authority of a single appointed individual who is not from San Francisco, is not a San Francisco educator nor parent, and is not beholden to any constituency other than his bosses.

The schools our students deserve are not built by state intervention, irresponsible layoffs of needed positions or undermining the needs of our school communities. We need fully staffed schools, not educator vacancies in Fall. Superintendent Tony Thurmond should immediately rescind this decision. UESF stands with education workers, parents, families, students and our communities in demanding that the CDE rescind this downgraded certification immediately.
