PROP A: FUND OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Students in San Francisco deserve to learn in environments that allow them to thrive.

Prop A would allow San Francisco to borrow $790 million to improve learning spaces for students in SFUSD. This money could be used to renovate classrooms and school buildings, improve technology and networks, create outdoor learning spaces, construct a Food Hub for Student Nutrition Services, and modernize a large high school campus. The bond could also go towards providing healthy meals for students which is especially important considering that SFUSD is the largest food security provider for children in San Francisco.  

Investing in our schools is a key step in addressing public safety concerns by ensuring that students can learn in an environment that enables them to succeed. It’s these types of investments in our education that actually work to curb crime, not our punitive carceral system and other harsh crime policies. 

This measure would require 55% of the vote to pass and does not raise taxes on San Franciscans.

At a time when SFUSD schools are facing closures because of drops in enrollment, it’s vital that the schools that remain open are well resourced and propel students toward academic success, wellness, safety, and self-development.
