SFUSD is committed to providing translation (written) and interpretation (oral) services to all families. Available translation and interpretation services for SFUSD families are posted here. Please inform your student’s teacher or school leader if you need these services.  

Board Policy 5023 (adopted March 1, 2022) provides an outline of district requirements for translation and interpretation services. Please note the following:

• Every effort should be made to translate written materials and provide them to parents/guardians in advance of meetings.
• Interpretation may be either simultaneous or consecutive; if interpretation is consecutive, the meeting time should be extended to allow for consecutive interpretation, which usually requires approximately double the time.
