A month after their victory at the ballot box, proponents of the recall of three school board members say their attention isn’t simply on the decisions the district makes, but on how the district makes them.

Organizers of the school board recall say the board must get back to focusing on its students and re-engaging with the community.
“What we want to see is the school board members run a process where they actually engage the community in these decisions,” said Siva Raj, co-leader of the group Recall SF School Board. They see the recall as a backlash to the way the school board went about making decisions like ending the merit-based policy at Lowell High School – rapidly and without enough public input.
“I’m pretty sure what parents want to see is us moving past that political divide and just focus on the kids,” said Meredith W. Dodson, executive director of SF Parent Coalition. “Now we have the people who can help us get through these hard issues. People who are paying attention, know the crises that our district is facing,” Dodson said.
Autumn Looijen, co-lead of Recall SF School Board, said the district needs leadership that will “at least stand up and say this is going to be a painful next couple of years, and I’m sorry about that.”
