Special General Association Virtual Meeting
Friday, October 16, 2026
Please join us for a brief virtual 2nd District Special General Association Meeting on Friday, October 16, from 12:00–12:20 p.m. on Zoom. Your participation is important as we vote on 2nd District PTA’s positions on four measures on the November 2026 San Francisco ballot.
We need a minimum of 17 members/board officers from 10 different SF PTA/PTSA schools to meet quorum for this meeting, to vote on the proposition positions.

Business: Vote to adopt the 2nd District PTA Executive Board’s recommended positions on four San Francisco Propositions: C, D, H, and I. The recommendations are based on the 2nd District PTA Ballot Measure Study Group’s review of each measure and applicable PTA authorities. The study reports are available here for you to review before the meeting:
Proposition C “Contributions to the Housing Trust Fund”
SUPPORT Prop C because it aligns with PTA’s positions calling for more affordable housing.
Proposition D “Changes to Ballot Measure Process”
OPPOSE Prop D because it makes it harder to place measures supporting PTA priorities on the ballot that can be approved by a simple majority of voters.
Proposition H “Parcel Tax to Fund Muni Operation”
SUPPORT Prop H because it aligns with PTA’s positions calling for reliable, consistent transportation for students to get to and from public schools.
Proposition I “Changes to Real Property Transfer Tax”
SUPPORT Prop I because it aligns with PTA’s positions calling for more affordable housing and homelessness prevention.
Please join us for this special general meeting — we need many of you for this important vote! This is a great chance to learn about measures affecting children, youth, families, and teachers/staff in this city. Your vote at our meeting will decide if 2D PTA can promote our positions on these propositions and share them with all our PTA/PTSA units and their school communities ahead of the November 3rd Election Day. We truly appreciate your time. Thank you!
Our Letter to Mayor Lurie
Mayor Daniel Lurie had the opportunity to appoint students from SFUSD public schools and underrepresented communities, but chose only private school students to fill the six open seats that are Mayoral appointments on our city’s Youth Commission.
