School Beat: What’s up in 2008

The ever-well-informed Lisa Schiff starts the new year with an excellent overview of the issues facing the district in her School Beat column: What’s up in 2008 for San Francisco’s Schools:
The arrival of the New Year marks the approximate half-way point in the school year, which so far has passed by relatively quietly. But the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), like all districts around the country, faces difficult challenges requiring difficult decisions, so that relative calm will surely be coming to an end soon. Familiar issues will drive those decisions, though 2008 will bring some unique aspects.
Budget cuts, BOE ambitions, enrollment changes, Prop H priorities... there has been an unusual calm in the district. Let's see if the BOE, the Superintendent, the labor leaders, and all the other stakeholders can keep the peace once they start grappling with the difficult issues ahead.
