SF Parents

Rule Changes

Opposed the decision, scheduled emergency meeting

San Francisco's school board voted 5-2 on October 13 to replace the city's elementary school lottery with neighborhood assignments. Every family gets a seat at its neighborhood school even if it applies late, but can apply elsewhere only to citywide programs such as language immersion and K-8 schools. The Third Baptist Church of San Francisco and Black parents say the change will fall hardest on Black students.
