The youth have spoken
YouthVOTE 2006 conducted a poll of more than 8,000 SF high school students who cast their votes on today's election issues. The balloting was conducted by the YouthVOTE Coalition, which includes the San Francisco Youth Commission, the Student Advisory Council of the San Francisco Unified School District and the Youth Leadership Institute. This is not their first poll. In 2004 they chose Calloway, Kim, and Heather Hiles—as well as nearly voting in Starchild!
For more of the YouthVOTE results, check out Heather Knight's blog. And if anyone has the full results o this year' polling, please send it to me and I'll post it along with today's results.

Yay for Jane Kim!
The main thing about this poll is that it's the true voice of the students, it's who they want. The school board make choices that mostly affect them. It's just too bad that younger students could not vote/does not understand enough to vote.
but apparently actual voters differed -
here's the vote as of midnight with all precincts counted -
