PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Capacities for the 2025-2026 School Year: What we can expect

Nothing has been finalized

In the coming weeks I will be receiving the staffing model, staffing allocations, and our budget for next school year. We are expecting additional budget cuts. This will come in the form of decreases in FTE for positions as well as the money we receive in our budget.

SSC REPORT

• Met with Chris Tsukida (SFUSD Community Schools Organizer) on the Readiness Grant.
• Following up on promising grants, though some may not be available for this year.

Next meeting:

Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 6 PM

​

Tentative agenda:

• HMCRA survey proposal for approval

Highlights from last meeting:

• Reviewing the HMCRA + SFUSD surveys. Main goals for each:
• HMCRA: Gain a pulse for this year, and get feedback on actionable items.
• SFUSD: Project externally to prospective parents and SFUSD.

Should the PFC spend $3,500 to increase existing budgets for the book fair and snacks?

https://forms.gle/pZHBptxoeK7rvUjX8

Context: PFC has about $6,000 in its 2024-25 budget that is unallocated. We propose spending some more of this funding:

​

• Literary Itinerary: Increase budget by $1,000 ($2,000 to $3,000) to enable all students to purchase a book from the Out & About mobile bookshop.
• Snacks: Increase budget by $2,500 ($6,000 to $8,500), so that our 9 remaining biweekly orders can have a budget of about $500 each (vs $250 each). Average biweekly order has been $361, and classroom feedback is that it’s not enough.
