In the wake of a dire financial prognosis, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is under strict state control following a bleak assessment from auditors who flagged the district’s spending as unsustainably high. As reported by NBC Bay Area, a “distressed financial condition” has pushed the California Board of Education to step in. Losses have been steep, with the city facing the exodus of over 10,000 students in the past decade. This decline translates into a hemorrhage of millions in state and federal dollars that the district once relied on.
