"The district is facing a $114 million deficit next year, and the school board wants to revisit the possibility of closing schools again. "We have to be more surgical. We have to be more mindful about the programs that we may have to put on pause, the reductions in perhaps core services that we're used to having," Su said in a previous interview."
Maria Su was permanently appointed superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District after the board voted to extend her contract late last night. She became interim superintendent more than a year ago to address the district's budget crisis. She balanced the current-year budget through drastic cuts. The district faces a projected $114 million deficit next year, and the school board is considering revisiting school closures. Su said programs may need to be paused and reductions in core services considered to manage the shortfall. The teacher's union did not endorse Su and preferred a candidate with an education background.
