WHAT IS THE SAG?

The SFUSD Title IX Student Advisory Group (SAG) provides formal structure for students and SFUSD to build and  collaborative on issues related to sexual harassment and assault that are occurring among our students. Through providing important feedback to the District and helping to inform students about developments of importance to them, the SAG’s mission is to elevate SFUSD student voices in the pursuit of these prevention and response efforts.

The SAG will consist of maximum 20 SFUSD 10th-12th Grade High School Student Members. There will be no more than 2 students from each high school on the SAG.  For the Spring 2022 semester,  the appointment term will begin February 2022 and end June 2022. Some members of the Spring 2022 SAG will continue into the 2022-2023 SY.

MEETING INFORMATION

Members are expected to participate in virtual meetings hosted by SFUSD's Office of Equity once per month. There will be 4 meetings during the Spring 2022. Meetings are from 4:30-6:30 on the 4th Wednesday of every month starting in February:

• March 23

PARTICIPANT EXPECTATIONS

Students are expected to attend at least 3 of the 4 Spring 2022 meetings.
