Candidates who believe in San Francisco’s public education promise.

Two boards, one shared conviction: this city’s public schools and City College change lives, and they deserve leaders who’ve lived that promise from the inside, as alumni, teachers, parents, community leaders, and neighbors.

Different boards, same conviction

Every San Francisco student deserves academic excellence. San Francisco’s public institutions are worth investing in, not managing into decline. Across both boards, these candidates share a common approach.

  • Keep public education free and accessible from Free City College to neighborhood public schools.

  • Treat educators, staff, and community leaders as partners in every decision, not an afterthought.

  • Invest in the people and programs already working, rather than cutting them first.

  • Keep classrooms, campuses, and centers rooted in every neighborhood, not concentrated in one.

  • Build real pathways that meet students where they are — from early childhood through K-12, and from noncredit into credit programs.

Leaders who’ve raised kids in this district, not just studied it.

San Franciscans for Strong Public Education is an independent coalition of educators, neighbors and parents supporting educator-backed candidates for the San Francisco Board of Education and City College Board of Trustees.
