In the Fall of 2024, beginning on August 20th, all K-12 school facilities will be inspected by an independent consultant in compliance with the Williams Settlement Legislation and SARC Reporting. The inspectors will be visiting all rooms to determine whether the facility is in good repair. This year, facility inspections will be conducted by California School Inspections.

The Facilities Inspectors have been vaccinated, boosted, and will be COVID tested before coming to our District. They have completed 1000s of school inspections and understand the concerns school employees might have and will work to reduce distractions as much as possible. To do so, the inspectors will be given keys and we ask that staff to allow the inspectors to work independently. If there are questions or concerns during the inspection that are outside the scope of the inspection itself, please direct staff to share their questions and concerns with the site Principal who can refer any unanswered or unaddressed questions and concerns to the Office of Equity (equity@sfusd.edu) or the Facilities Department (Karen Sullivan at sullivank3@sfusd.edu).  Inspections may also occur on the weekends, with the Facilities Department coordinating site access. 

In the following chart, please take a moment to identify whether your school was selected by the California Department of Education as a Williams Monitoring school. Then, read the relevant sections below  for your school. We thank all school staff for your help in making these inspections run as smoothly as possible.
