SEC. 16.123-5. DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
§ 16.123-5
The City must give one-third of the Public Education Enrichment Fund to the San Francisco Unified School District each year through 2041 as direct financial support. The District can use these funds for educational purposes including gifted programs, special education, staff compensation, literacy, and other instructional needs.
Every year until 2041, San Francisco will set aside one-third of money from the Public Education Enrichment Fund and send it directly to the School District. The School District can use this money for things like programs for gifted students, special education, paying teachers and staff, literacy programs, and other educational purposes. The City encourages the School District to hire both teachers (certificated staff) and support workers (classified staff) to run these programs.
- Controversial:Mandatory funding allocation and amounts are the kind of budgeting decision that city residents often debate publicly.
