October 2024 Student Assignment Policy Update

SFUSD is still on track to move to a zone-based elementary student assignment policy, based on Board Policy 5101.2. Staff are working to ensure alignment between the elementary student assignment policy and the portfolio decisions that are being made this year. At this point, the implementation year for the new policy is still expected to be SY 2026-27.

We anticipate sharing more details in December 2024. We look forward to conducting meaningful community engagement in the Spring of 2025, to build understanding and incorporate community preferences before the new zones are decided on and before the assignment policy goes into effect.

We know this is an important decision for SFUSD families, and we appreciate your engagement and your patience. To learn more about the potential portfolio changes that are being considered as part of the Resource Alignment Initiative, please visit sfusd.edu/RAI.
