Nearly a month after San Francisco voters recalled three school board members, Mayor London Breed announced the three appointees who will replace them. Get to know the newcomers here:
Motamedi, an Inner Sunset resident, currently works as volunteer lead for the National Park Service in the Golden Gate Park National Recreation Area. Most recently she served as co-chair of the SFUSD Public Education Enrichment Fund Committee.
Weissman-Ward, a Mission District resident, works as the associate director of the Stanford Law School Immigrants' Rights Clinic and is a member of the National Lawyers Guild as well as the American Immigration Lawyers Association. The school board replacements come as the district faces significant issues, such as a projected $125 million budget deficit for the upcoming school year. To balance the budget, the board is considering layoffs for hundreds of teachers and staff members.
"I look forward to working with the new leaders of the Board of Education and I want to thank the new commissioners for their willingness to serve the greatest school district in the history of humankind," Matthews said."Above all else, we are educators and our priority is and will continue to be helping students reach their full potential."
