What board members said

Now let's fast forward to May. We get the May budget revise. When we factor in retirements, attrition, turnover of staff, all that stuff it could be that come May we actually don't need to lay anyone off, potentially.Phil KimPresident · San Francisco Unified Board of Education · Mar 4, 2026Watch the full meeting from 53:43
Does anyone want to address impacts? What analysis, for instance, the district has or can do to determine what the impacts are beyond just the cost savings from taking a particular action.Supryia RayCommissioner · San Francisco Unified Board of Education · Dec 16, 2025Watch the full meeting from 3:41:29
Meeting time

Closed session and procedure took more of the board's meeting time than the budget did: 27% against 11%.

Closed session and procedure26%22%–32%
Governance and policy24%17%–32%
Budget and finance11%7%–15%
Labor and personnel4%2%–8%
  • Governance and policy includes the board's goal-progress workshops on literacy and math.
  • Closed session and procedure is mostly closed session, plus roll call, minutes, the consent calendar and adjournment.

The two readers didn’t agree on 5% of the time; it counts toward no topic, so every share above is a floor.

Not shown: facilities, closures and enrollment, curriculum and instruction, student services and special education, safety and discipline, ceremony and recognition, public comment, whose checks haven’t passed
