SFUSD is currently revisiting its policy for how elementary school students are assigned to public schools, and the San Francisco Board of Education will vote on a new policy on December 8, 2020. Also, OUSD has launched an initial exploration of its student assignment system’s functioning this spring.
 
In an effort to infuse policy discussions with additional evidence, this speaker series will examine research related to the history of school desegregation efforts, school integration, school choice, and SFUSD’s student assignment policy options. While these sessions focus on SFUSD, separate sessions looking at OUSD’s policy options will be scheduled in the future. The series will culminate with a panel discussion where researchers provide feedback on SFUSD's proposed changes to student assignment, prior to a Board of Education vote. 
 
In the first presentation, the community will hear from Rand Quinn about the history of school desegregation and student assignment policies in San Francisco. A panel of SFUSD community members will provide commentary and pose questions to spark discussion. Quinn is associate professor of education at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Class Action: Desegregation and Diversity in San Francisco Schools.
 
The panel discussion where researchers provide feedback on the proposed changes to the policy has yet to be scheduled.
