SFUSD principals say superintendent threatened legal action

San Francisco principals are organizing a protest in response to Superintendent Maria Su's alleged threats of legal action against those who skip a mandatory meeting. Union president Anna Klafter described the superintendent's warning as a "heavy-handed" tactic that has fueled anger among school leaders. The district's decision to relocate the meeting from Burton High to downtown San Francisco aims to make the demonstration more visible and impactful. Klafter reported that almost all 250 union members plan to attend the protest following the meeting, indicating strong solidarity among principals. Additionally, teachers union president Cassondra Curiel suggested her members might join in support.

The ongoing conflict emphasizes the mounting pressures faced by principals as they navigate dwindling resources and staff. This tension reflects broader issues within the San Francisco Unified School District as leaders seek better conditions for educators. The situation raises questions about how the district will address growing discontent among its administrators.
