Good afternoon! It’s nice to be back in San Francisco, where “heat wave” means anything over 70 degrees.
If you’ve got kids in SF public schools, like Joe Eskenazi, you might get as mad as he was to learn that the financially-strapped district knows school closures won’t really save moneyโbut wants to pay a consultant $1.75 million to oversee closures anyway. And don’t get Joe started on the “12 coins” parent survey.
See how they run follows mayoral candidates Ahsha Safaรญ on his home turf in the Excelsior, and Daniel Lurie (with his dog) on Clement Street. Lurie also made the rounds at the Richmond Night Market, where candidates for supervisor, district attorney, and school board were working the crowds. All our election coverage here.
And in other election news, do read our prescient back story about Kamala Harris from 2019, when she was running for president.
More soon,
