Schools like Everett Middle School benefitted from a $4.5 million federal grant, but academic performance dropped after the funding dried up. A new amendment on the November ballot aims to avoid the rise and fall that comes with short-term school funding.
Everett Middle School is not the pride and joy of the San Francisco Unified School District. It wasn’t back in 2010, and it isn’t in 2022.
After the three-year grant period, however, the funds dried up, as did programming that may have helped Everett avoid the crises it now faces, said Jennifer Ferrigno, legislative aide to District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen. With discretion over the whole city and everything that comes with it, the Board of Supervisors could have chosen to allocate this money in other ways. However, Ronen explained that many of the “extremely expensive” issues facing The City, such as homelessness and mass incarceration, often start at childhood.
Many programs designed to aid such students, Ronen said, have been dismantled as a result of the district’s structural deficit. Though the charter amendment states that schools with low academic achievement will be prioritized, it will be up to the district to set criteria and determine eligibility. The coordinator can then help their school apply for the Student Success Grant to ensure the model outlives the state grant, Jacques-Menegaz said. Schools that are not yet ready to implement such a model can also be awarded a technical assistance grant to help them reach that capacity.
