I hope you are enjoying summer and taking time to relax and recharge. There are many things happening in SFUSD even as we are on summer break -- both challenges we are addressing as a district and bright spots of continued learning among students. In this newsletter, please find the latest information about our budget; our upcoming implementation of Frontline, our new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and Red Rover, our new Human Capital Management Suite (HCM); and our Bond Program.
There is also information about the work happening right now to plan for school closures, mergers or co-locations in the 2025-26 school year. I know this is a very personal topic for all of us, and communities are eager for information. The Resource Alignment Team is working diligently and thoughtfully to bring forward a recommendation that will be shared in September 2024, as well as a transition and welcoming plan for students, families and staff who will be moving to a new campus in 2025-26. More about this is below.
Thank you for all that you do in service of students and families. Wishing you a wonderful rest of summer, and I look forward to connecting with you soon as we head into the new school year.
In Community,
Dr. Wayne

SFUSD is transitioning from our current payroll, finance, and human resources systems – including EMPowerSF – to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, called Frontline and a Human Capital Management Suite (HCM) called Red Rover. Learn more about the transition.
All employees who will use Frontline as a "power user" must replace their current work computer with a new one. This includes Central Office staff who will work with Frontline on a daily basis. This does not include casual users such as school site staff.
SFUSD is scheduled to go live with one feature of Red Rover, substitute management, at the start of the upcoming 2024-25 school year. Training documentation is being created for administrators, clerks, educators, paraprofessionals, and substitutes. |

SFUSD's Mission Bay School is being delivered by the 2016 Proposition A Bond program. The school addresses a gap in school options in the high-growth neighborhood, with 30% of homes in the area being designated as affordable housing units. The 2024 Bond proposal puts forward significant renovations and targeted facility upgrades. The proposal also invests in healthy meals for students, technology and network improvements, outdoor learning spaces, and safe school buildings. |

SFUSD Summer Internships
Natalie Gomez (below, left) and Tiffany San Jose (below, right) were two of the advisors that trained SFUSD interns this summer. On Fridays, interns were coached on topics such as professional writing, financial literacy, social capital, and safety. Ms. Natalie had students create 'Six Word Memoirs,' i.e. poems about their internships. Communications intern Anthony Cheung (below, center) made the memoir on the Post-it Note to the left.
