SFUSD must face cuts to avoid a state takeover. The community at Lakeshore Alternative Elementary School understands that, but we have been notified of a disproportionate attack on our school based on flawed data. The proposed reduced enrollment capacity will result in the loss of five teachers and many more staff members and resources and will also ensure an attack on our school’s diversity, which is essential to what makes our school so unique and important. Please take a moment to read and sign this petition if you understand the value that Lakeshore brings to our families and city. Help us encourage the district to let us keep three of the five proposed cut classes (Kinder, fourth, and fifth):
Please share this petition to your network after you sign! Any supporter of equitable public education can sign. We need to get the attention of the Board of Education before February 8, when the budget is finalized.
Can you help a little more? Attend our rally in front of SFUSD at 555 Franklin next Wednesday, February 2 from 11:30am–12:30pm. RSVP on Facebook to show you’re coming. Email, text, or share this graphic on social media with your invitation to fellow Lakeshore Leopard lovers!
