Textbook Sufficiency Resolution Approved After Reopened Public Hearing
Board approved the annual Williams Act resolution certifying textbook sufficiency, reopening the hearing after missing a virtual commenter who urged true accessibility for special education and ELL students.

Board Settles 19 Student Cases and 3 Employee Matters in Closed Session
The board approved 19 student settlement agreements totaling over $800,000 and three employee settlements, with Commissioner Fischer and Commissioner Ray each casting lone dissenting votes on specific items.
Why it matters: The volume and dollar amount of settlements—predominantly involving OAH special education cases—may indicate systemic compliance issues that affect special education service delivery across the district.
An independent state assessment found SFUSD still at high fiscal risk, though staff say credit ratings improved and a balanced budget has been achieved for the first time in years.
Why it matters: This is SFUSD's third FCMAT review in four years — triggered by CDE's lack-of-going-concern designation — and the score, while improved from 2024's 50.7, shows the district must sustain discipline to avoid state intervention.
