Decreasing the distance

NEW REPORT from Decreasing the Distance: The San Francisco Unified School District is in crisis. Our public school children have endured remote and hybrid learning far longer than necessary, and the extent of the harm to our children and the system alike won’t be fully realized for years to come. Remote and hybrid learning have contributed to significant learning loss, absenteeism, and disengagement in the student population. Math and reading scores are down, particularly in vulnerable populations. Impacts on graduation rates have yet to be reported, but are likely to be significant, similar to other urban districts. Students’ mental and emotional health has suffered. SFUSD and the Board of Education have a professional and moral obligation to finally do the work that will assure all students can return to full-time, in-person school by the first day of next school year.
