SFUSD board approves several policy updates and backs AB 424 to bar civilian guns in schools
Summary
The San Francisco Unified Board adopted multiple policy resolutions (professional standards; nondiscrimination in employment and programs; budget policy) and passed a resolution backing AB 424, which would revoke a loophole allowing civilians to bring firearms into school zones.
At its May 9 meeting the San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education approved a package of policy resolutions forwarded from rules committee and unanimously adopted a separate resolution supporting AB 424, state legislation to close a loophole that could allow civilians to carry guns on school property.
The board voted by roll call to adopt Resolution 174-4 SP1 (Board Policy 40-19, professional standards), Resolution 174-4 SP2 (Board Policy 4,030, nondiscrimination in employment) and Resolution 174-4 SP3 (Board Policy 0-410, nondiscrimination in district programs and activities). All three items were moved forward by the rules committee with positive recommendations and were approved without public speakers.
Later in the agenda the board also approved Resolution 174-25 SP1 on board policy 3,100 (budget) and unanimously adopted Resolution 174-25 SP2 in support of AB 424 (McCarty), described by staff as a bill "to repeal the loophole allowing civilians to bring guns to school." The roll-call votes recorded seven ayes on each item.
Board staff read the recommended actions for each resolution; no members of the public registered to speak on those policy items. President Walton called for roll-call votes and the clerk recorded unanimous votes in favor of the measures on the evening's consent and action calendar.
The transcript does not include substantive debate overturning the recommendations; the votes were procedural conclusions following committee review. The board will implement policy updates consistent with the adopted language and formally expressed support for AB 424 will be transmitted as the board's resolution in the legislative process.
