Do you have questions about the return to in person learning?

Do you want to know: What group of students are returning next month? What safety protocols are being put into place? What will happen if you choose not to send your child back? What your options and rights are?

Do you have questions about the budget and how it will support our children next school year?

If so, join us for an evening with Deputy Superintendent Enikia Ford-Morthel, Executive Director of SFUSD Budget Services Anne Marie Gordon, and other District leaders to get your questions answered.

This month we will be joined by Superintendent, Dr. Vincent Matthews and Chief of SFUSD's School Family and Community Support Division, Mele Lau-Smith, to discuss the reopening of schools (or return to in-person learning). We are hoping to create a safe and open space for families of Black children to ask questions and/or share concerns, ideas, celebrations or hesitations directly with school district staff.

In partnership with the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for Special Education, AAPAC hosted over 100 participants for our annual collaboration meeting. Our topic this year was Understanding Disproportionality: Continuing the Conversation. Together we unpacked the root causes for why Black Children are being disproportionality designated for Special Education and suspensions and what we as families can do about it.

For more information on what was discussed, please review the recording here.

AAPAC joined families across the district for a Student Assignment Community Meeting Watch party and AAPAC Debrief on Tuesday, October 27th. We hosted over 56 participants and were able to gather and compile questions, concerns and suggestions that will be made to SFUSD regarding the proposed changes to the Student Assignment Policy.
