Dear SFUSD Families,
I strongly believe in the importance of ensuring each and every child has access to an amazing public education. If you’re reading this, you likely share this belief. That’s why I want to express how thankful I am for you and for our community for supporting our public schools. Time and again the whole San Francisco community shows up for public education. Most recently, San Francisco voters approved Proposition G in the November 2022 election, which will provide money from existing City funds to form a new Student Success Fund. This Fund will provide grants to individual schools for programs that can support the whole child so that they can reach their fullest potential. We are so fortunate to live in a community where people care about what happens in our public schools, whether or not they have children attending them. With the support of so many in our community, our schools are becoming more of what we want and need them to be for our children.
Read below for more information about Inclusive Schools Week and join us to foster a culture of inclusivity in celebration of the diverse student population who we serve every day.
Best wishes for a safe and restful holiday season.
Warmly,
Dr. Wayne
Dr. Matt Wayne
SFUSD Superintendent
