The Second District PTA asked the School Board and Superintendent to quickly address the literacy and chronic absence crisis in SFUSD.

Literacy

Second District PTA is deeply concerned with the low reading proficiency of SFUSD students. We urge the school board to adopt universal screening for risk of dyslexia as well as a curriculum and professional development based on evidence-based science of reading with Structured Literacy Instruction.

Reinstate Advisory Coalition

support collaboration and communication between all advisories, councils, committees,
and affinity groups, we urge SFUSD to reinstate this coalition.
