<p dir="ltr">Dear SFUSD Families and Staff,</p>

<p dir="ltr">Tonight, over 1,100 people registered for our Virtual Town Hall to learn about our efforts to create a new portfolio of schools and contribute their input on which criteria we should use to determine schools for mergers, co-locations, and closure. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Making changes of this magnitude will be challenging. No one wants to think about a school closing its doors, me included. However, it's a step we must take to ensure every student is thriving in a strong and supportive learning environment every day. </p>

<p dir="ltr">We’ve created a process that values equity and community input, and your voice is critical for ensuring our decisions reflect our community’s values.</p>

<p dir="ltr">If you couldn’t make it to the Virtual Town Hall, don’t worry. There are many other ways you can learn more and share your perspective.</p>
