SFUSD superintendent expected to resign, report says – NBC Bay Area

The superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District is expected to resign on Friday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The district did not immediately comment on Superintendent Matt Wayne's reported resignation. A special closed-door board meeting has been called for Friday, and one item on the agenda indicates the resignation of an employee.

Since Wayne took the role, critics say the district's financial crisis has worsened and families complain about a lack of transparency and planning around upcoming school closures.

This week, Mayor London Breed called on Wayne to “immediately stop” his plan to close schools.

A list of schools scheduled to close or merge was expected to be released in September but was delayed until October, further embarrassing families, teachers and students.

In September, an emergency closed-door school board meeting was held on a Sunday morning. There was one item on the list at the meeting: a performance review of public employees.

Not long after, both the superintendent and school board president spoke about their continued partnership to get SFUSD schools where they need to be.
