San Francisco school board pauses reactionary school renaming campaign to focus on forcing schools open
At a special school board meeting Tuesday night, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) Board of Education announced a pause on their racialist campaign to rename 44 school sites in order to intensify efforts to reopen the city’s schools in a matter of weeks amidst the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
The announcement of a halt to the renaming of schools comes nearly one month after the school board voted to approve the renaming of one third of its school sites in the district including the erasure of the names of revolutionary historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) reached an agreement on how to safely reopen their public school system Tuesday night, but the fight on actually getting kids in the classroom is far from over.
San Francisco's school board unanimously voted 7-0 Tuesday night to accept a deal between the district and employee unions, including United Educators of San Francisco teachers' union, over health and safety precautions needed to reopen schools.
