SFUSD allocates funds using the Weighted Student Formula, which gives sites more funding per pupil for each student who is a foster child, homeless, living in public housing, an English language learner, or who qualifies for free or reduced lunch or special education. There’s even a “concentration bonus” — schools receive extra funding if 55% or more of its students fall into one or more of the categories above. The following analyses are based on this SFUSD budget spreadsheet maintained by Tim Tahoe and CAASPP test results from EdData.
Of the 10 best funded general education elementary, middle and k-8 schools:
7 of 10 are predominantly black + Hispanic (>50% of the student body)
Considering these 7, the average pass rate on the CAASPP is just 18.43%
The three schools which have more Asian + white students than black + Hispanic students had a much higher average pass rate of 53.55%.
All but 1 of these are “Title 1” schools (the percent of low-income students at the school exceeds their proportion in SFUSD)
Of the 10 worst funded elementary, middle and k-8 schools, we find the opposite:
Relatively high average pass rate of 73.79%
9 are predominantly Asian + white (on average, about 65% of the student body).
The 1 outlier with less than 50% Asian + white students also had a much lower pass rate of 60.20%
None of these are Title 1 schools.
So, to recap, if anyone is going to “underfunded” schools within SFUSD, it’s Asian and white students. It’s students who are not low income or attending schools with a disproportionate number of low income students. Not a single one of the 10 worst-funded SFUSD elementary or middle schools is predominantly black + Hispanic. Not one. And yet, I doubt Virginia Marshall is concerned that these underfunded schools are putting Lowell out of reach for Asian and white students!
Parents of students in a California school district organized a walk-out in protest against an LGBTQ club that had been held without parent notification.
The LGBTQ+ group was created by a third-grade teacher at the Pleasant Grove Elementary School in the Elk Grove Unified District.
"Deal with the bullying. Don't keep secrets from parents," said Brittani Cortina, a parent of the district. "Take that issue with the parents don't take that issue with the students in the school."
"These little minds, they just can't wrap their head around what these types of things mean to them," said Pamela Davila, a parent of the elementary school. "I don't think any of us have an issue with that topic. It's just that they did that without notifying the parents."
The National Center for Law & Policy, on behalf of the outraged parents, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the district over the controversial club.
“All of the evidence points to the fact that Elk Grove Unified School District’s UBU Club at Pleasant Grove Elementary School was intentionally designed and planned to be a covert child sexuality club whose very purpose was to deceive and undermine parents and families whose viewpoints regarding human sexuality differ from the extreme ideological and political agendas of the Youth Development Office, aligned administrators and rogue teachers like Daniel Bishop,” the NCLP wrote in the letter.
The best way to fight THAT wokeness... All parents pull their kids out of that school the very next day. Defund is the only solution sicko's will understand.
If the school loses even 50% of their students it would make the news(the real news), and spread like wildfire on socials. How do you justify paying people with no students? Federal funds are dependent on attendance. Even the feds won't pay for an indoctrination institution if no one is being brainwashed...
Generally both parents work. What do you do with the kids that get pulled?
When your daycare turns into a grooming facility, it doesn't matter what the excuses are to stay, you have to protect your kids. That's literally the main job of a parent.
$200k/year is plenty to run a 20-student school.
