SFUSD says round‑1 assignment letters were mailed March 20; registration deadline extended to April 21
Summary
Superintendent Lee apologized for a delay in round‑1 school assignment letters, said the district mailed offers March 20 and extended the deadline for families by one week to April 21; families were directed to contact the Educational Placement Center if they had not received an offer.
Superintendent Richard Lee told the San Francisco Board of Education on March 21 that letters offering students placements under the district's round‑1 assignment process were delayed and mailed on March 20. "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience," Lee said, adding that families who applied by the January 13 deadline should start receiving offers and that the district extended the registration deadline by one week to April 21 to give families additional time to respond.
Lee said the district mailed letters via first‑class mail on Monday evening, March 20, and asked families who had not received offers to contact the Educational Placement Center (enrollinschools@sfusd.edu) or check sfusd.edu for information. He thanked independent schools and community partners for accommodating families affected by the delay.
The superintendent also acknowledged possible U.S. Postal Service delivery delays and said staff would help families confirm assignment offers. The board did not take a formal vote on the update, which staff presented as an informational item followed by routine business.
Next steps: families who have not received assignment letters were instructed to contact EPC; the registration extension moves the final acceptance date to April 21 for affected offers.
