SFUSD board votes to issue release notices to 258 temporary certificated employees and non‑reelect 79 probationary staff
Summary
In a closed‑session readout Feb. 11, the San Francisco Board of Education voted 6–1 to issue notices to 258 temporary certificated employees and to non‑reelect 79 probationary certificated employees effective at the end of the 2024–25 school year; Commissioner Fisher voted no on both actions.
In a closed session readout Feb. 11, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to issue notices to 258 temporary certificated employees and to non‑reelect 79 probationary certificated employees effective at the conclusion of the 2024–25 school year.
President Kim reported the actions to the board in open session, saying, “In accordance with Education Code 44954, the board took action in closed session to issue notices to 258 temporary certificated employees that they will be released at the conclusion of the 20 four‑twenty 5 school year.” The motion to approve the release was approved by a vote of 6 ayes and 1 no, with Commissioner Fisher voting no.
President Kim continued that the board, acting “Pursuant to Education Code 44929.21(b),” approved non‑reelection notices for 79 probationary certificated employees effective at the conclusion of the 24‑25 school year. That motion also passed 6–1, with Commissioner Fisher opposed.
The board did not provide additional identifying details about which sites or positions are affected during the readout. President Kim said affected employees “will receive written notice of the board’s decision in accordance with legal requirements,” and thanked the educators for their service.
The actions were announced during the formal closed‑session report the board read into the public record after an earlier closed meeting. The board’s readout also noted separate closed‑session items (see related article on expulsions and litigation direction). The superintendent and human resources staff will issue the formal written notices and follow statutory timelines for any required post‑decision procedures.
What the board said it did not disclose publicly at the readout were site‑level lists of employees, specific job titles beyond “certificated,” or detailed rationale for each individual release or non‑reelection; the readout followed the pattern established by the board’s closed‑session procedures and state law.
The board’s 6–1 vote pattern on both actions mirrored a later roll call taken by board staff during the readout: Commissioners Alexander, Gupta, Vice President Healy, Ray and Wiseman Ward voted “yes,” and Commissioner Fisher voted “no.”
Next steps: affected employees will receive written notice; the superintendent and HR staff will implement the statutory notice process, and the board indicated it would continue budget and staffing deliberations in subsequent public meetings.
