(a) Establishment of Fund. There is hereby established the Student Success Fund (“the Fund”) to be administered by the Department of Children, Youth, and Their Families (the “Department”), or any successor agency. Monies therein shall be expended or used solely by the Department, subject to the budgetary and fiscal provisions of the Charter, for the purposes set forth in this Section 16.131.
(b) Purposes of Fund. The purpose of the Fund is to provide additional resources to the San Francisco Unified School District (the “District”) to accomplish grade-level success in core academic subjects and improve social/emotional wellness for all District students. The Fund will encourage the District to be innovative and creative in improving student outcomes in both areas, so that successful programs may be scaled up. One model to achieve the purposes of this Fund is the community school framework that has been implemented across the country with proven outcomes in academic achievement and student success.
Using this framework, students, families, educators, and connected community partners work together with school administrators in determining strategies to serve students who are struggling at their schools, and integrate partners inside and outside of the schools, such as City departments and community-based organizations, to meet student and family needs in order to increase student success and equity in and among schools. To help students succeed in the classroom, this framework bolsters current resources available in schools, and may include academic support, social/emotional interventions, strategies to address persistent poverty and trauma, or support for families to secure stability. Many of these needs can be met within the school by District educators and support staff including but not limited to school nurses, in-classroom tutors, literacy and math specialists, academic coaches, social workers, specialized curriculum, and school psychologists. Other interventions can be achieved with the assistance of community-based organizations and/or City departments including but not limited to programs and assistance to alleviate the impacts of poverty and/or trauma, after-school programming, therapeutic arts and culture programing, and summer school.
The Fund is born of a belief that students, parents, educators, and staff of community-based organizations at individual schools are the best situated to determine, within the District’s instructional and community schools framework, the direct interventions and programming that are necessary to help all students achieve academic success and social/emotional wellbeing at their school. The community schools framework continuously monitors programs and practices in each school community to ensure that strategies support student progress and outcomes, and that the entire school community is part of that work. The Fund is also born of a belief that it takes a village to successfully educate students, and the involvement of more caring adults to help students overcome challenges is a building block to their ultimate success.

If there are no remaining funds in that reserve account, the City shall appropriate monies withdrawn from the City’s Budget Stabilization Reserve established under Charter Section 9.120. If there are no remaining funds in the Budget Stabilization Reserve, the City shall appropriate monies withdrawn from other budget reserve accounts established under Charter Section 9.120.
(5) If, at any election after November 8, 2022, the voters of the City enact a special tax measure that dedicates funds for the purposes described in this Section 16.131, the City may reduce the amount of appropriations in subsections (d)(1) and (d)(2) in any subsequent fiscal year by the amount of special tax revenues that the City appropriates for those purposes in that fiscal year.
(6) Reserve Account.
(A) The Controller shall establish a separate reserve account in the Fund to facilitate additional appropriations and expenditures during fiscal years described in subsections (d)(3) and (d)(4). In any fiscal year described in subsection (d)(3) or (d)(4), the City may appropriate and expend funds from this separate reserve account for the purposes permitted by this Section 16.131, provided that the total amount expended from the Fund in any fiscal year shall not exceed the amount set forth for that fiscal year in subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2).
(B) At the end of each fiscal year, the Controller shall deposit in the separate reserve account any monies that were appropriated to the Fund under subsection (d)(1) or (d)(2) but that remain uncommitted, provided that the amount in the separate reserve account shall not exceed $40 million. The Controller shall return to the General Fund any additional monies in the Fund that remain uncommitted.
(7) In Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and thereafter, monies from the Fund shall not replace, supplant, count as, or substitute for funding that is included or partially included in the Children and Youth baseline requirements under Section 16.108, the Public Education Enrichment Fund baseline requirements under Section 16.123-2, or any other provision of this Charter that requires the City to provide funding to the District or to services for children and youth.
(e) Uses of the Fund to Support School Site Initiatives for Academic Achievement and Social Emotional Wellness of Students. On a funding cycle determined by the Department, the Department shall invite Eligible Schools and the District to apply for grant funding to support academic achievement and social/emotional wellness of students. The Department shall establish after making reasonable efforts to consult with and reach mutual agreement with the District, or the Board of Supervisors may establish by ordinance after requesting input from the District, a simple and accessible grant funding process. If there is any conflict between any ordinance and a regulation described in the preceding sentence or in any other provision in this subsection (e), the ordinance shall prevail.
(1) Criteria: The Department, after consultation with the District, shall adopt criteria, and the Board of Supervisors may by ordinance adopt criteria, establishing the qualifications for Eligible Schools to receive a Student Success Grant or a Technical Assistance Grant, or for the District to receive a District Innovation Grant in coordination with one or more Eligible Schools. At minimum, to receive a Student Success Grant under subsection (e)(2), each Eligible School, including Eligible Schools covered by a District Innovation Grant, must meet the following criteria:
(A) The Eligible School must have a School Site Council that has endorsed the Eligible School’s grant funding proposal and has committed to supporting the implementation of the programs and/or staffing funded by the grant either before the award of the grant or within the first year of the grant being awarded.
(B) The Eligible School must have a full-time Community School Coordinator, or must plan to hire and in fact hire a Community School Coordinator, who will serve in a leadership role working alongside the Eligible School’s principal in implementing the grant and ensuring that the programs funded by the grant integrate with and enhance the Eligible School’s academic programs, social/emotional supports, and other programming. If there is a program or a community-based organization integrally connected to the Eligible School that provides on-site services and support for students and their families, including without limitation an after-school, Beacon, or other program, the Community School Coordinator must fully integrate these programs or organizations so they work together to enhance the academic learning and social/emotional support that occurs during the regular school day. The Community School Coordinator must participate in the School Site Council to help it gain and maintain the skills and capacity to meaningfully reflect the values of the school community and support the implementation of programs funded by each Student Success Fund Grant. The District or the Eligible School may pay for the Community School Coordinator with monies allocated through Student Success Grants or Technical Assistance Grants.
(C) The Eligible School must agree to coordinate with City departments and with the District’s administration to ensure that all resources, strategies, and programs at the Eligible School best serve students and their families. If the Eligible School implements initiatives that advance innovative student support models and strategies but are not funded by a grant under the Fund (for example, but without limitation, Beacon, ExCEL, or Promised Neighborhoods programs, or other partnerships with community-based organizations), then the Eligible School must demonstrate to the Department how programs supported by the grant will coordinate with, align with, and share leadership with those other initiatives. Eligible Schools’ initiatives should utilize the state-mandated school plan to ensure a coherent approach and align resources allocation with student outcomes in both academic achievement and social/emotional wellness.
(2) Student Success Grants: The Department shall provide a Student Success Grant to each Eligible School that the Department, after consultation with the District, determines is capable of successfully implementing the District’s instructional and community schools frameworks or other evidence-based school improvement strategies, based on the school’s application. The Department shall establish criteria, or the Board of Supervisors may establish criteria by ordinance, to prioritize grants to schools demonstrating low academic achievement and/or with a high number of vulnerable students, including but not limited to English language learners, foster youth, students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, homeless students, and students who are otherwise vulnerable or underserved. To determine whether an Eligible School has demonstrated low academic achievement, the Department shall rely on ratings prepared by the State and/or the District. The Department may determine the amount of each Student Success Grant, up to a maximum amount of $1 million per fiscal year. In addition to other uses consistent with this Section 16.131, a Student Success Grant may fund the Eligible School’s staffing costs associated with administering the programs funded by the grant, including the Eligible School’s Community School Coordinator. The Department may develop a process for working with Eligible Schools to determine alternative programs for the use of grant funds where the Department finds that the Eligible School’s initial proposal does not align with the Department’s criteria.
(3) Technical Assistance Grants: If the Department determines that an Eligible School does not have the organizational capacity to implement a community school model in the next fiscal year, the Department may award that Eligible School a Technical Assistance Grant, which shall be a grant to provide technical assistance to prepare and assist a school community and its School Site Council to gain the skills and capacity to apply for additional grants in future fiscal years.
(4) District Innovation Grants: The Department may also provide grants to the District if the District applies for funding to plan or implement innovative programs designed to enhance student achievement or social/emotional wellness at an Eligible School or group of Eligible Schools. Such programs may but need not be pilot programs. The Department may determine the amount of each District Innovation Grant based on criteria adopted by the Department, or by the Board of Supervisors by ordinance. Any such criteria shall prioritize programs in Eligible Schools demonstrating low academic achievement and/or with a high number of vulnerable students, including but not limited to English language learners, foster youth, students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, homeless students, and students who are otherwise vulnerable or underserved.
(5) Restrictions on Uses of Student Success Grants and Technical Assistance Grants: Eligible Schools may not use Student Success Grants or Technical Assistance Grants to pay for the Eligible School’s or the District’s costs to provide Core Staffing.
(6) School District Coordinator: Notwithstanding any other provisions in this subsection (e), the Department shall not issue any grants to Eligible Schools or the District unless the District has at least one full-time employee or full-time employee equivalent dedicated to managing and coordinating the community school framework District-wide, and providing training and support for each Eligible School’s Community School Coordinator; or unless the District is in the process of selecting and hiring a full-time employee to perform those functions.
(7) Outcomes and Goal Measurement: The Department, in consultation with the District, shall establish clearly defined goals and measurable outcomes for each grant and for the interventions and programs supported by the Fund overall. The Department, in consultation with the District, also shall establish a report structure and template for Eligible Schools, the District, and the Department to evaluate the effectiveness of those interventions and programs. The Department’s compliance standards and evaluations for Eligible Schools shall complement and align with those of existing evaluation structures, such as, but not limited to, quality practices of the San Francisco Beacon Initiative, 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program, and ExCel After School Programs, and any new similar out-of-school programs that the District may implement over time.
(8) Ordinances: The Board of Supervisors may enact ordinances setting forth additional criteria, restrictions, procedures, or guidelines, including but not limited to additional permissible or prohibited uses of grant funds.
(f) Uses of the Fund for Administration by City Departments and the District. The City may appropriate up to 3.5% of the monies appropriated from the Fund each fiscal year to City departments to implement this Section 16.131
and administer the grant programs. Additionally, the District may retain up to 3.5% of each Student Success Grant or Technical Assistance Grant to cover the District’s expenses to comply with the administrative, implementation, and reporting requirements in this Section 16.131
.
(g) Reports. As a condition of each grant provided under this Section 16.131
, the Department shall require the District and Eligible School to provide the Department with data documenting the student outcomes, both academic and social/emotional, of the programs funded by the grants, to the extent permitted by State and federal law. Based on this data and other information available to the Department, the Department shall regularly assess the outcomes of the grant programs to evaluate how they are serving students, communities, and schools to meet the goals of improving student academic and social/emotional wellness outcomes. Each year by no later than May 1, the Department shall submit to the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors a report covering the prior calendar year and providing information about the uses of grants awarded under the Fund and data regarding outcomes from the grant funding.
(h) Expiration. This Section 16.131 shall expire by operation of law on December 31, 2038, following which the City Attorney may cause it to be removed from the Charter unless the Section is extended by the voters.
