Lowell still in danger — donate today!
The superintendent in November just used the High School Task Force as cover to attempt to impose a modified lottery. Thankfully, the Friends of Lowell Foundation and other pro-education groups in the city were successful in convincing him to stand down temporarily. There is no longer a pro-Lowell majority on the Board of Education, so Lowell will again be in the crosshairs if the same anti-merit BOE members retain power next November. We thus need to ensure that we have the funds necessary to defend merit-based admissions again. Meanwhile, our Committee for Improved Outcomes in Early Education is working to find solutions for improving education for younger children in failing SFUSD schools so that they are prepared to eventually apply for — and excel at — a rigorous institution like Lowell.
You can help us do all of this with your tax-deductible donation. Please also take advantage of your employer’s matching program! All donations have been used to fund operating and legal expenses for our all-volunteer organization.
