5010YEARSBuilding the Next DecadeWithin these pages, you read about: • the Wellness Centers that now deliver more than 56,000 mental health services annually to our middle school students; • the transformation of more than 82 cafeterias and kitchens into welcoming spaces of nourishment and belonging — strengthening daily attendance, connection, and community; • the comprehensive investments into STEM and computer science, dramatically increasing AP Computer Science participation among girls and underrepresented students, ensuring more young people are prepared to shape the technologies defining our future;• the robust implementation of the district’s first evidence-based literacy curriculum in a decade, training nearly 1,500 educators and strengthening reading instruction for more than 20,000 elementary students annually, because literacy is the gateway to every other opportunity.These were not isolated programs. They were system investments — designed to last, embedded into the fabric of SFUSD, and built to benefit generations of students.These initiatives not only dramatically improved the educational journeys of students that walked the halls of SFUSD over the past decade, but as system investments, they will continue to benefit the hundreds of thousands of students who, in the next decade, will grow up in San Francisco's public schools. We have seen the evidence of Spark’s theory of change and progress. Now is the time to boldly imagine what we can realize in the next decade.If the first decade was about building the foundation, the next must be about scale and ambition.Imagine public schools that are not simply stable, but world-class.Imagine arts education that rivals the cultural institutions of our city.Imagine AI and technology education that bridges equity and innovation — preparing students not just for jobs, but for leadership.Imagine college and career pathways connected directly to San Francisco’s strengths — biotech, culinary arts, clean tech, civic leadership — opening doors while strengthening our city’s economic future.Imagine a system that invests deeply in educators, elevating the profession and ensuring every classroom is led by a supported, inspired teacher.And imagine your family, your company, your foundation helping anchor one of these pillars for the next generation.If we want a strong San Francisco, we must invest where everything begins:in our schools, in the educators who bring them to life, and in the public school system that connects learning to opportunity for all, stability to families, and education to the future of our city.The next decade is ours to build, together.
