"Virginia Cheung, who joined the school board race in March, immediately following the strike, has already won the support of the United Educators of San Francisco, the union that led the strike and bargained with the district for higher wages and fully funded healthcare for teachers."
"Though the race for the San Francisco school board is largely nonpartisan, the race has split along political lines. Both Cheung and the election's third candidate, Brandee Marckmann, have received endorsements from San Francisco's progressive wing."
"The San Francisco Democratic Party and the moderate political interest group, Grow SF, along with the parent-led coalition S.F. Parents Action has thrown their support behind Kim, who was appointed by former Mayor London Breed in 2024."
Phil Kim, the incumbent president of the San Francisco School Board, is facing challengers Virginia Cheung and Brandee Marckmann in a special election. Kim's leadership has been questioned following a teachers' strike that closed schools for a week. Cheung has gained support from the United Educators of San Francisco, while both challengers have endorsements from the progressive wing. Kim is backed by the San Francisco Democratic Party and other moderate groups. The election will determine the future leadership of the school board.
