I'm running for SF Board of Education! john4schoolboard.com/about-john SF schools face a teacher shortage & massive fiscal crisis. Last weekend, hundreds of parents, teachers, and elected leaders gathered with @jaimenina, @ParagGuptaSF and me for our announcement. Let's go!!
I am thrilled and humbled to be endorsed by GrowsSF for Board of Education. Our schools have real challenges that we face today, and this is a time to turn forward, address these challenges, and create a fresh start for our schools!
We're thrilled to endorse Parag Gupta, Jaime Huling, and John Jersin for SF School Board! Our schools are facing multiple existential threats, including fiscal insolvency. Our endorsement focuses on competence, not politics, and these three will deliver. Full write-up to come!
