The Fight to Save the Edison Charter in San Francisco
Submitted by Diallo Dphrepaulezz on 6.1.2001
Before the San Francisco School Board granted the Charter, Edison Elementary School was one of the most notable failures in the District. For years the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) had failed to deliver on its obligation to provide a competitive education to students at then Edison Elementary School. Student test scores were among the worst in the state. Former principal Ken Romines recalls “[j]ust coming to school was dangerous. Violence was so commonplace, students expected to get hurt or hurt others, and they said so.”
