Perspective: “Red flag” laws are some of the strongest tools we have to stop gun violence before it starts. But SF is lagging behind other cities in using these laws, write Supervisor @SupStefani and City Attn. @DavidChiu. That needs to change. sfstandard.com/perspectives/…

I’m so excited about these new BOE members. I know Lainie a little, and I’m so impressed with her commitment to the schools and mastery of our complicated schools budgeting system. It’s so refreshing to have these @SFUnified parents at the table!

Today I appointed Ann Hsu, Lainie Motamedi, and Lisa Weissman-Ward to the School Board. We need to focus on delivering on the basic services our residents deserve, and I know these three women will be intensely focused on meeting the urgent needs of our kids and our schools.

Despite attempts to smear us as “dark money privatizers”, I’m proud to be part of a committed group of public school parents who helped make this happen. We’re in it for the long haul for our kids, and we’re just getting started! @SFParents
