Mayor London Breed took to the national talk show circuit over the weekend to give some insight into her selection process for replacing three recalled school board members who were voted out of office last week.
“Parents were upset. The city as a whole was upset, and the decision to recall school board members was a result of that.”“I’m going to be looking for people that are going to focus on the priorities of the school district and not on politics, and not on what it means to run for office, and stepping stones, and so on and so forth,” she said. “We need people who want to be on the school board to make a difference, and who meet those qualifications to do the job.
As the pandemic lingered and the strains of remote learning mounted daily on students and parents, Breed — like many San Franciscans — lost faith in the board leadership.“At the end of the day, our kids were not in school,” she said. “And they should’ve been. And kids were home suffering.
“And the fact that we’re still even listening to any of the recalled school board members is definitely a problem,” she said. “Again, we should be focused on the parents. We should be focused on the school district and the challenges that these kids have faced. And that’s the biggest problem.”
