Worst school board in the country could see San Francisco district taken over by the state because of budget shortfall

While the San Francisco school board has been busy with renaming schools, covering up murals and ridiculous lawsuits, the SF school district has been struggling to make ends meet. The district has been warning for months that declining enrollment meant the school board needed to make cuts but the board has been too busy with woke priorities and has continued to spend tens of millions of dollars beyond what the district’s revenue can support.

Part of that excess spending was filled in by millions of dollars in COVID relief money that poured in

Now the situation is so dire that the California Department of Education is stepping in and the school district itself could be taken over by the state if improvement isn’t made quickly. The state is literally sending accountants to help the school board balance its budget.

The district looks to be augering in.

Tax revenue likely took a hit with so many people moving out.

Individual schools and districts get $$ based on Average Daily Attendance. So whether students move out of the city, transfer to private schools, or homeschool (non-PS, of course), declining ADA means less $$.

Reduced ADA is the reason PS people don't like homeschooling and private schools, the decreased ADA $$. The private and home schooling parents don't pay a dime less in taxes than similarly situated PS parents.
