SFUSD Enrollment Guide online

Another sign that the district web site is improving and the EPC is providing better customer service is the fact that this year's enrollment guide is available for download:

SFUSD Enrollment Guide 2008-2009 (94 page, 10.5MB, PDF)

Translations are available in Spanish and Chinese. The guide was freely available to anyone attending the Enrollment Fair, and undoubtedly available at schools and other places. I don't remember seeing anything with the breadth and depth of enrollment information in prior years -- though this year is the first time in three years that I've been in the hunt.

Two minor quibbles:

• The guide is pretty hard to find on the enrollment page. Not impossible if you know it is there, but not obvious to people browsing the EPC home page.
• The district has a penchant for publishing PDFs that cannot be searched or converted to text. They've made the same mistake with the budgets they publish. In this case there seems to be some simple encoding mixup rather than an attempt to secure the document.

Minor points. The guide is well organized and very user friendly. Kudos to everyone inovlved in producing it.
