“SFUSD has been misleading the public about key metrics of its math program for years.' San Francisco's controversial math placement and sequencing is now being challenged in court.
San Francisco Unified School District’s controversial math placement and sequencing is now being challenged in court.
Rex Ridgeway, one of a group of 50 petitioners who filed a writ of mandate against San Francisco Unified School District on Monday, told The Examiner that he “Had to do a workaround because the district moved algebra 1 out of eighth grade.” “We are in the process of collecting evidence to inform needed improvements in mathematics programming,” superintendent Matt Wayne said in a statement. “This research from Stanford helps us know how our math programming is influencing the courses taken by San Francisco students.
Lead petitioner Annesa Flentje, a San Francisco resident with children enrolled in the district, said that “ kids with privilege can advance in mathematics, and those without privilege cannot advance. Ironically, SFUSD made these changes in the name of equity, but putting in barriers to accessing is not equitable.
