Superintendent highlights retirees and launches 'Thank a Teacher' events
Summary
Superintendent Chan honored nearly 100 SFUSD retirees, named senior staff being recognized and outlined the district’s 'Thank a Teacher Today' campaign in partnership with the mayor’s office and community partners, while recognizing school nurses and substitute teachers.
Superintendent Chan opened the board’s presentations by recognizing the many employees who are retiring and by highlighting activities tied to the district’s teacher-appreciation efforts.
Chan said the district honored "almost 100 people who are retiring from San Francisco Unified School District," and singled out senior staff including Chief Information Technology Officer Eric Botwell and Annette Lim, executive director of the education placement center. He also described the district’s partnership with the mayor’s office, the San Francisco Ed Fund, the San Francisco Giants and the United Educators of San Francisco for the second annual "Thank a Teacher Today" campaign and named six educators who received mayor’s teacher-of-the-month awards.
Chan acknowledged substitute teachers and 26 school nurses and noted May as School Nurse Day in California. The superintendent also announced student work — an anthology from Wallenberg High School students — and congratulated staff members earning advanced degrees.
The board later adopted a resolution of commendation formally recognizing the "Thank a Teacher Today" campaign and thanking district educators; Dennis Kelly of the United Educators of San Francisco spoke in support of the resolution.
The resolution passed on roll call.
