Two meetings about the school closure process

Two public meetings have been scheduled about the recent school closures, and what comes next. Each was scheduled independently of one another and announced on the sfschools list. The first one on the calendar is a debriefing with Eric Mar and Mark Sanchez:

Join School Board Commissioners Eric Mar and Mark Sanchez at an informal debriefing and discussion about School Closures on

Thursday, Feb. 2 at 6 p.m.
SFUSD Headquarters,
555 Franklin in Room 106.

The discussion will center on the next steps regarding future planning surrounding the projected decline in enrollment. The discussion will also center on the steps that both the School Board and the Community needs to do separately and together to ensure that the planning is done in a thoughtful process that supports all of our students. The discussion will also look at ways that the School Community may want to work with the BOS and the Mayor.

Followed by a community potluck meeting held at the Coleman Advocates center:
