Ahead of the upcoming school year, KTVU spoke with the superintendents of some of the Bay Area's largest public school districts – to ask them about their plans, challenges and goals for the upcoming school year.
San Francisco Unified School District is the largest public school district in the Bay Area, with more than 50,000 students in 115 schools.
Like most other public school districts in California, and in urban areas across the nation, SFUSD is dealing with the challenge of finding enough permanent teachers.San Francisco Unified School District has about 40 teaching vacancies and is offering hiring bonuses. But on the first day of class, every classroom had an educator.
When asked why teachers should work at SFUSD, Wayne made this pitch: "We have a lot of innovative programs. The City can become your classroom – that's not something that other places can offer. We also have great benefits and professional development." That means more classroom teachers, after-school programs, and bringing in additional support in the classroom with a software program called Dream Box, which allows students to track their progress, learning mathematical concepts.
