This new report from the California Department of education says sfusd will not be able to meet its financial obligations during the 2024 2025 fiscal year to address the issues, the chronicle reports that the state made an extreme move last week.

Up next valencia street businesses asking city leaders to replace the center bike lane, which they say has hurt their bottom line. Then pepper panic. The problem that has forced production to stop for four months and could cause another sriracha sauce shortage. Then the garden of time, a look at some of the eye popping outfits during mateo county. Today, the county board of supervisors is talking about lowering the speed limit in dozens of school zones to 15 or 20mph. If approved, the county would study school zones in more than 20 districts over the next year and then make final recommendations. This comes after a statewide push to reduce school zone speeds thats currently moving through the state legislature. We continue to follow the controversy around the Center Running bike lane on San Franciscos valencia street. It was meant to improve safety, but many in the area say it is just created frustration and confusion. Residents and businesses have been asking for changes, and amanda, we understand theyre now getting the backing of the valencia Street Merchants Association. Yes, stephanie. The valencia Street Merchants Association sent a letter to sfmta yesterday endorsing calls to replace the center bike lane. The group would like to see side running bike lanes restored to the street as soon as possible. Its the same request thats been made by others in recent months. They would also like to see parking restored and reduced parking meter costs for six months while the area is under construction. Merchants on that stretch of valencia say since the current lane was installed, business has been decimated. In the letter, the association writes in part we have watched as dozens of our friends and neighbors have closed shop and know of a score more who are barely hanging on and likely to shutter in the coming months. As valencia represents the largest contiguous stretch of independent merchants in the nation, it occupies a special space in the city and is worth saving. The sfmta spokesperson says. Merchants have been meeting with the agency to find a solution that works for businesses and maintain safety in the corridor. An update for what comes next is expected this summer.
