San Francisco’s school board has signed on to an unusual agreement to behave “in a dignified and professional manner,” ensure that it’s “fully informed” so meetings proceed in an “orderly fashion,” and eschew extraneous pursuits until the city’s schools are, you know, open. In other words, the school board promised to act like a school board.

Thousands of San Francisco students heading back to their classrooms this month will be carrying their computers to school each day and sitting in front of a screen to learn from their teachers who will remain at home.
That’s because nearly 500 district teachers and classroom aides scheduled to return to in-person instruction won’t because they have a medical exemption, allowing them to continue teaching online even if their students are at school, where they are supervised by a credentialed substitute or other qualified staff member.
