Rule Changes

Voted against neighborhood schools

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.
