San Francisco, CA: If 2008 is the Year of Education for California, for San Francisco it may be the Year of Small Schools. SFUSD is partnering with the nation’s oldest and most effective small schools reform organization, the Coalition of Essential Schools, to address issues of inequity and low achievement that are a challenge in San Francisco schools. On January 10 at the Cowell Theater, Superintendent Carlos Garcia and new Deputy Superintendent of Instruction, Innovation and Social Justice Anthony Smith will join San Francisco Coalition of Essential Small Schools (SF-CESS) Director Gregory Peters and CES Executive Director Lewis Cohen for an event to share the small school innovations and successes that are on the docket for San Francisco.
