Board Elevate, a PPS-SF magazine full of my summaries of board documents. We heard from parent/community that more is needed to understand the robust board document SFUSD presents. In this magazine you will read simplified school district information presented to the Board of Education.
The goal is to deepen parent/community understanding of district progress and growth, and the endless possibilities that public schools bestows.
