Officials initially planned a $1 billion measure for March, but voters could weigh in with votes in November
San Francisco Unified School District officials admit the $790 million bond measure being prepared for placement on the Nov. 5 ballot still isn’t enough money to fix the district’s aging facilities.
“SFUSD’s commitment to educational excellence must be supported by well-functioning schools,” Board of Education President Lainie Motamedi said in a statement. “SFUSD’s bond program is absolutely essential to fund the critical improvements needed to provide quality education and safe learning environments.”
But district officials said that $790 million, which would be the district’s largest bond to date, is still not enough. SFUSD Executive Director of Capital Planning Karen Sullivan said that $6 billion is needed to repair all schools, and Wayne noted at an April board meeting that the district has “way more needs than we’ll address in one bond.”
SF says latest homeless tent count is lowest in five years The mayor’s office said Monday that the tally has fallen 41% since July 2023 Parents have vocally criticized the district for delaying needed improvements after voters passed a $744 million bond to fund repairs in 2016. Seventy-nine percent of voters approved the 2016 bond, and district officials said they are hopeful that a 2024 bond will pass to address repairs.
