***SFUSD SCHOOL CLOSURES & MERGERS IN DISTRICT 10***

Yesterday, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) released a proposed list of school closures and mergers, which includes four elementary schools in District 10. 

The impacted schools are:

• • El Dorado Elementary, which will merge with Visitacion Valley Elementary. Students will relocate to the Visitacion Valley campus.
  • Malcolm X Elementary, which will merge with Carver Elementary. Students will move to the Carver campus.

While no high schools located in District 10 are on the list, we recognize that students and families across the city will be affected by other closures. 

The high schools impacted are:

• • June Jordan School for Equity, which will merge with John O’Connell High School. Students will transition to the O’Connell campus.
  • The Academy, which will merge with Raoul Wallenberg High School. Students will move to the Wallenberg campus.

Our office met with SFUSD Superintendent Dr. Matt Wayne to discuss the potential impact these changes will have on families. We are committed to working closely with the district and school community to ensure that the needs of students and parents are addressed during this transition. Additionally, we will continue to provide families with relevant resources and support throughout the process.

We understand that a change of school will be hard for our students and we are committed to ensuring transitions that address and meet the needs of our impacted families. We are hopeful that the SFUSD will address any major hardships and impacts to school communities. I will be reaching out to school leadership and my office will attend meetings to hear from community.
