Donate to Parag Gupta for School Board 2024
Dear Friends,
I am humbled to be endorsed by SF Parent Action!
I am a proud SFUSD parent. My daughter attends Chinese Immersion School (CIS) at DeAvila where I served on the School Site Council (SSC) for five years including three as the Chair. Most recently, I was elected to the DCCC, having received the most votes out of any first-time candidate in AD-19. I am proud to also be endorsed by Senator Wiener and Assemblymember Haney.
San Franciscans deserve a public school system that works for all children. The next four years are going to be critical for SFUSD with a potential $421 million deficit, school closures, and failing standards in K-8 math and literacy. How we address these challenges will determine the viability of SFUSD and our city’s ability to attract and retain families for years, if not decades to come.
I authored the San Francisco Democratic Party's platform on public education. My focus, in line with that platform, stresses our need for a public school system that:
- Centers on student outcomes
- Provides quality neighborhood schools
- Prioritizes both excellence and equity
- Encourages fiscal responsibilities and policies that lead to retention and growth of overall attendance
I have the ability and a proven track record to make difficult decisions that SFUSD needs. I will be a board member who will support staff and teachers and set students up for success.
