The lawsuit that City Attorney Dennis Herrera filed Wednesday against the San Francisco Unified School District and its leaders was unprecedented in California and perhaps nationwide: a city accusing its own public schools of failing to make plans to reopen classrooms for safe in-person instruction as soon as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, as state law requires.
SF files lawsuit against its own school district to force classrooms to reopen
San Francisco (KGO) The city of San Francisco has filed a lawsuit against its own school district in an effort to reopen in-person instruction.
City Attorney Dennis Herrera, with the backing of Mayor London Breed, announced he had sued the San Francisco Board of Education and the San Francisco Unified School District in a statement and discussed it at a news conference.
“It’s a shame it has come to this. The Board of Education and the school district have had more than 10 months to roll out a concrete plan to get these kids back in school. So far, they have earned an F. Having a plan to make a plan doesn’t cut it,” said City Attorney Dennis Herrera in a statement.
