Reports & Analyses

Report on SFUSD's Effort to Rename Schools

We assessed the work done for the school renaming project by reviewing the renaming Committee’s meetings and documentation.

Report on SFUSD’s Math Framework

California is actively considering the adoption of flawed and inequitable guidance on math curricula based on misleading data and inaccurate success metrics reported by San Francisco Unified School District. We analyzed enrollment data reported to the California Department of Education and limited responses to California Public Records Act requests and found that SFUSD is hiding information about the impact of the math sequence introduced in the district in 2014.

Report on the Board of Education and Safely Reopening

Read our report, titled “Lessons from One Year of Distance Learning.” The main finding is that Board of Education has made multiple missteps in preparing and planning for a safe reopening, leaving families confused and frustrated with unclear, incomplete information.
