Superintendent highlights Prop C win, new Bayview middle school and student research success
Summary
Superintendent Richard Carranza thanked voters for Prop C (73.4% approval), highlighted ongoing investments in arts and STEM and announced a new Willie Brown Middle School opening in Bayview next fall; he also congratulated Lincoln High students for iGEM success with UCSF partners.
Superintendent Richard Carranza opened the Nov. 18 meeting by thanking San Francisco voters for approving Proposition C with 73.4 percent support, which secures funding for the City’s children’s fund and the Public Education Enrichment Fund (PEAF) through 2041. He emphasized that the measure sustains arts, libraries, sports and music programs without raising taxes.
Carranza announced that a new middle school in the Bayview — the Willie Brown Middle School — will open next fall after extensive community input; the site will include technology, science labs, arts, health and a full set of student supports. He encouraged families to learn about enrollment opportunities.
The superintendent also congratulated the Abraham Lincoln High School team that won a presentation award at MIT’s iGEM competition in partnership with UCSF, and noted multiple attendance recognitions and upcoming Inclusive Schools Week activities.
Why it matters: Prop C provides stable, local funding for enrichment programs that the superintendent said protect whole‑child education, while the new Bayview middle school is framed as part of a district plan to expand STEM access.
Outcome: Items announced were recognitions and updates; the superintendent and board thanked partners and staff. No new board appropriations were made during the remarks.
