At 6:30pm we'll be tuning into the mayoral candidates debate, moderated by @hknightsf and @manny_yekutiel. (FYI we're not at the theater in person because of a scheduling conflict.)

Follow along with editor @alexlash, won't you? For people of a certain age or musical disposition, the phrase "the candidates debate" instantly conjures up Simon & Garfunkel singing as Dustin Hoffman drives across the Bay Bridge

👉🏼 ⌚️ Set a timer, friends: at 6pm we'll tune in remotely to the @Sfunified Board of Ed committee on fiscal and operational health. The board got rid of regular committees a couple years ago... ... but with the budget crisis, this special committee is overseeing the district's "financial stabilization plan."

Get ready for Tuesday thread part 🪡🪡 The @sfunified Board of Education meeting is starting soon, with special education, the district’s bigwig salaries, and the $790m facilities bond on the agenda The Rev. Amos Brown is interrupting the proceedings while the board members vote on expulsion matters

A Tuesday thread double dip 🍦🍦

Join us, won’t you? Here's the @sfbos agenda for today. It includes a committee of the whole hearing on the SF county jail lockdowns sfbos.org/sites/default/…

It's Tuesday evening, and we're about an hour from the start of the @sfunified board meeting. The @CADeptEd fiscal watchdog has issued a grim report that SFUSD is at high risk of insolvency.

Happy Thursday to all who celebrate! We're about to follow the @sfbos Public Safety Committee meeting for a hearing on traffic enforcement.

@SFUnified's first town hall about consolidations and closures is on Zoom now. We won't be live-twXting a full 🧵, but we'll note a few things here. First thing to note: Whatever happens, it won't start until the 2024-25 school year. Tonight begins a long outreach/info process. @SFUSD_Supe is going through a slide deck:
Declining enrollment

+ Aging school sites and facilites
= "We need fewer schools. Our resources are stretched too thin."

It's Thursday morning, and we're about to join the @sfbos Public Safety/Neighborhood Services committee to hear:

🫱🏽an update on @RafaelMandelman's "Place for All" ordinance
sfbos.org/sites/default/… The meeting starts at 10am, we'll start our 🧵 as the agenda items in question come up. Follow along at @SFGovTV if you're so inclined sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/camera/…

It's Tuesday, and we're following the @SFMTA_Muni board meeting, which starts in 10 min, for discussion of the new speed camera plan. The tragic backdrop, unfortunately, is the weekend crash that killed 3 members of an SF family and has their infant in critical condition The meeting agenda is here sfmta.com/sites/default/…

Good evening, everyone. For the first time in a few months, the @SFUnified board meeting is about to start, and the sun hasn't yet set. We'll follow along here. Join us! The meeting has begun, and @SFUSD_Supe is going through his regular report, including a shout-out to the Ruth Asawa SOTA theater crew that put on the Addams Family Values musical last weekend. (And this coming weekend - get your tickets, folks.)

The rain has stopped, but it's still Tuesday, which means the @sfbos has its regular meeting at 2pm. We'll be following along right here for a good part of it, so join us, won't you? The agenda (find it here: ) includes:
👉🏽 new housing code and forgivable homeowner loans
👉🏽 the Potrero bus yard/housing project
👉🏽 landmark for the Sacred Heart Parish (aka the Church of 8 Wheels)

That was fast. After the 8:45pm release, the @sfchronicle is calling these races:
❌ Prop B (SFPD staffing)
✅ Prop D (ethics rules)
✅ Prop E (loosening SFPD rules on surveillance, chases, etc)
✅ Prop F (drug screens for welfare recipients)
✅ Prop G (urging 8th algebra) - Prop A (affordable housing 💰) is just ahead of the 2/3 majority it needs, too close to call.
- Prop C (tax break for turning offices to homes) is up 55-45.
- Also ahead: The incumbent SF judges called soft on crime in misleading ads sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Agenda is here: sfbos.org/sites/default/… There's also a proposed ordinance to create a Potrero Yard special use district.

Heads up (and umbrellas up☂️). It's a wet Tuesday and we'll be following the @SFMTA_Muni board mtg today for the Valencia bike lane discussion. SFMTA staff will present 3-month data on the center-lane experiment. It won't start until at least 3pm; we'll dive in then. Breaking news while we're waiting: Several Valencia merchants have filed claims (precursors to lawsuits, acc to @laura_waxee's report) against the city, claiming the bike lane has hurt business, violated their constitutional rights, and more sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f…
