There are a couple things I am hoping to achieve.

I will balance the $1.3 Billion schools budget. 

Our schools are facing a financial crisis, and we must act now to prevent a state takeover of our finances. Too much money has been wasted on unnecessary consultants and bad contracts—resources that should be directed toward our students' success. My commitment is clear: I will balance the $1.3 billion SFUSD budget by prioritizing effective spending that directly benefits our students. We will listen to the community and ensure that their voices shape the decisions we make, not just collect feedback and ignore it.

NOTE: School closures are off the table for this school year. I will encourage the $100 million in needed cuts to be as much away from the students as possible— there is too much money to central office and consultants. Please read more of my thoughts on the school closure chaos on this webpage.

I will bring improved student academic outcomes. 

Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, and I am committed to bringing all kids up to reading at grade level or better. I've connected with experts locally and nationally who are already making this happen, and I’m ready to implement proven strategies here in SFUSD. To achieve this, we must not only address chronic absenteeism but also ensure they feel safe and supported, both academically and emotionally. Mental health resources and a focus on well-being are critical. Additionally, I will continue to fund and expand popular programs like language immersion, ensuring that our schools offer the enriching education that our families value.
