In an election that concluded this week, San Francisco voters overwhelmingly voted to recall three school board members.
The Department of Elections of the City and County of San Francisco reported that the measures to recall Alison Collins, Gabriela López, and Faauuga Moliga all passed with more than 70 percent of the votes cast.
In October 2021, Joanne Jacobs reported on the recall effort for Education Next under the headline “Behind a School Board Recall in San Francisco, a Diverse Coalition.”
And in the Spring 2021 issue of Education Next, Naomi Schaefer Riley reported on the stirrings of parent activism in San Francisco in an article headlined “Exam-School Admissions Come Under Pressure amid Pandemic.”
