While two of Mayor London Breed's appointees cruised to full terms, another is increasingly unlikely to win.
Ann Hsu, an organizer in the February recall of three Board of Education members, trailed special education advocate Alida Fisher by 3,574 votes following the results that the Department of Elections released on Wednesday afternoon.
But the ballots counted since then have consistently broken for Fisher, who earned endorsements from San Francisco and the state's largest teachers union, prominent progressives and opponents of the school board recall. San Franciscans could vote for as many as three school board commissioners, and almost 19% of the 316,255 votes counted since Election Day tabbed Fisher for one of those spots. Hsu, by comparison, earned 15.8% of those votes.
The Board of Education — including Hsu and both of its student delegates — unanimously voted to admonish Hsu, who is Chinese American, for telling San Francisco Parent Action that the biggest hurdles for bridging racial achievement gaps among students were "lack of family support,""unstable family environments" and"lack of parental encouragement to focus on or value learning.
