SF school board members facing recall weigh in on pandemic, budget and more

from Civic · host Liana Wilcox, Laura Wenus

Measures A, B and C on the February 15 ballot ask if school board members Alison Collins, Gabriela López, and Faauuga Moliga, respectively, should be removed from their positions. Recall proponents say the board should have been more focused on reopening schools during the pandemic. Since voters will be making their choices based not only on the board members’ records but also on their policy stances, we asked all three how they would handle issues like the ongoing pandemic and the budget if they stay in place.

Upholding Matters David Paul What holds you up and what do you uphold? With the slipping of decency and decorum in our public and private spheres of life, and with once rock-solid faith in civic and social norms now in taters, many people are left feeling greatly concerned and uneasy about the future.
