Overview
- Mission Bay Elementary opened this school year as SFUSD’s first newly built school in nearly 20 years and will serve transitional kindergarten through fifth grade in the fast-growing Mission Bay neighborhood.
- District leaders report that 96% of classrooms are now staffed and they have adopted a three-year balanced budget that they say brings more predictability to staffing and operations.
- SFUSD has implemented a districtwide ban on student cell phone use during school hours in line with state policy and has given individual principals authority to set campus enforcement rules.
- The district announced plans to conduct research and hold community listening sessions before deciding on any school closures or consolidations and said no closures are expected this year.
- Last year ended with the district’s first teachers’ strike in decades, a backdrop officials cite when describing the current focus on stabilizing schools and rebuilding trust with staff and families.
