Countless more hours of instruction are lost off-the-books via unrecorded "silent suspensions" and informal office removals.

SFUSD hasn't published an annual discipline report since 2021. For 3 years in a row, large disparities in discipline persist: Black and Latino students make up 39% of SFUSD enrollment, yet 68% of all suspensions (2023–24 data). 📕Destination Freedom destination-freedom.org/suspended-in...

Following the evaluation questions, the Board of Education conducted a roll-call vote on whether to accept the progress monitoring report on Goal 2:

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Superintendent Su noted the timing mismatch between early progress monitoring routines and her upcoming October target presentation, expressing confidence that alignment will improve once the new targets are set.

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

She clarified that voting against accepting a report is not a reflection of staff performance, but a tool for accountability and aligning resources with outcomes.

100

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

President Kim explained that because multi-year goals are no longer practically reachable in their current form, voting "yes" on progress is difficult until Superintendent Su delivers updated 1-year interim targets in October.

President Kim detailed the process for voting to accept the Superintendent's progress monitoring report, noting that acceptance acknowledges a satisfactory conversation and alignment on student performance data: #SFUSD

Over time, implementation evolves toward integrity, allowing teachers to adapt lessons to student needs while preserving high standards, academic rigor, and the intended spirit of the curriculum without over-simplifying tasks. #SFUSD

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

District leadership clarified that there is no strategic shift, as both fidelity and integrity are expected. Initial adoption requires fidelity to follow the curriculum's structured design.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Commissioner Ray asked whether shifting terminology from "fidelity" to "integrity" represents a strategic change in implementing curriculum to improve student outcome goals.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The district aims to identify tasks that can be shifted off school administrators' plates and transferred to central office leads, ensuring site leaders can focus on instructional leadership and implementation. #SFUSD

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The Superintendent responded by outlining steps to address principal workload, noting that central office is currently engaging principal cohorts across elementary, K-8, middle, and high school levels to map out all site-level duties and responsibilities.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Commissioner Fisher raised strategic concerns regarding resource allocation, asking whether school site leaders have sufficient resources and staffing to execute learning walks and data collection with fidelity, especially following prior cuts to assistant principals (APs).

Comm. Huling asks about the use of ed tech in classrooms and Amira. Staff replies that Amira is not used for math. There was a math AI tutoring platform for high schools that was piloted, but it was not used in middle schools.

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Staff replies that it is a question they are interested in but have not investigated yet. One mentions a middle school where math scores outpaced ELA scores, which was unusual. Says there is a need for collaboration with parents.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Comm. Huling follows up on Comm. Alexander's question about the drop off in scores, especially for focal population students when they move from Elementary to Middle school. Mentions that the district is able to track students as they move across schools.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Comm. Alexander again asks about what is the district doing already that is working. And the $12 million set aside for student outcomes. Supt. Su says we have learned that we need to provide more professional development for Assistant Principals and other site staff.

Supt. Su says it was around $12.5 million and this has not been spent yet, the District is in the planning process right now, thinking about what would the additional professional development for our educators look like.

Comm. Huling asks about the around 30 million dollars that were allocated towards student outcomes as part of the budget process in the Spring.

Staff says school sites with high percentages of focal populations are receiving intensified support. Such as instructional leadership, common planning time, design of math lab courses, coaching for individual math teachers. These are the "lab schools".

The Superintendent and district presenters detailed two targeted strategies to support student growth, particularly for African American students:

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Additionally, asking if the planned 6th-grade "Each and Every" initiative is designed to mirror the Kindergarten Interim Goal 1.1 model, which yielded a 1-percentage-point spring-to-spring increase for African American and Pacific Islander students in early literacy on the STAR exam. #SFUSD

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Commissioner Gupta requested comparative data from other school districts to examine whether the decline in African American student performance reflects a broader regional or state trend, and to identify potential root causes.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Staff: There were many teachers that piloted the new curriculum in the beta year, other schools were it wasn't adopted. Where leaders were involved and implemented with fidelity we saw good improvements. We will bring some of these teachers to an upcoming Board meeting.

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Supt. Su shares that Kim asked a great question. It could be our students are rebounding or also our new curriculum. Staff: time will tell. We'll see when we get to the precovid level and then see how we can surpass it. We're starting year 2 of the new curriculum, maybe in year 3.

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Commissioner Kim cites some of the stats for previous years and asks how do we know that the gains we are experiencing now are just not a recalibration back to precovid days? How do we know the new strategies and curriculum are working?

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Staff shares in the classroom it's sometimes a question of the quality of teacher practice. In some classrooms with a high percentage of focal students there can be a lack of belief in those students. We try to shift the educator's mind set.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Staff emphasized that true student ownership involves teachers supporting students through productive struggle—offering guidance without simply giving away answers—and celebrating hard work and persistence even when an initial answer is incorrect. #SFUSD

000

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

District staff added that while widespread complaints about student stamina are not typically heard, fostering perseverance through high expectations is a core component of student ownership.

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco @ppssf.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Entering Year 2 of implementation, district leadership plans to analyze past data to understand where and why specific student groups are excelling or struggling with academic stamina, while continuing to focus on supporting teachers and site administrators. #SFUSD
