Committee forwards two nominees to Children, Youth & Their Families oversight committee
Summary
Winnie Chan and Sarah Thompson Peer were forwarded to the Board for seats on the DCYF Oversight and Advisory Committee after candidates emphasized RFP oversight, metrics, special‑education experience and prioritizing 0–5 early childhood funding.
The Rules Committee moved two nominees for the Children, Youth, and Their Families (DCYF) Oversight and Advisory Committee to the full Board with positive recommendation after candidates discussed RFP oversight, outcome metrics and the need to prioritize early‑childhood services.
Winnie Chan, a District 8 resident with special‑education expertise and process improvement experience, said she would help develop metrics to measure grantee effectiveness and improve RFP processes. Sarah Thompson Peer, a parent with experience in teaching and advocacy whose child receives subsidized early‑childhood services, said she would press for stronger investment in the 0–5 age group and better access to affordable, high‑quality childcare. Committee members asked both candidates about allocations for 0–5 services and how to retain families in San Francisco; both prioritized early intervention and accessible childcare as tools to support families.
A supervisor moved to appoint Winnie Chan to seat 8 and Sarah Thompson Peer to seat 9 and forward the recommendations to the full Board; the motion was approved without objection.
