SEC. 16.133. DISCRETIONARY APPROPRIATIONS TO THE SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT; DATA SHARING AGREEMENT.

Starting July 1, 2026 (or a later date set by ordinance), the City may not give discretionary funds to the San Francisco Unified School District unless the District agrees to share relevant data with the City's child and family services departments while using those funds, subject to compliance with state and federal student privacy laws.

Beginning in 2026, if San Francisco wants to give extra money to the school district that isn't required by law, the district must first sign an agreement to share certain data with the city's departments that handle children and family services. The data shared must follow all state and federal rules about keeping student information private.

• Controversial:Data sharing involving student information is a subject where parents, educators, and privacy advocates often have strong and differing views about appropriate disclosure and government oversight.
• Complex:The section involves cross-references to other agencies, conditional effective dates, and interplay between discretionary spending and contractual obligations, making it somewhat difficult to parse.
