A civil rights law firm filed a complaint against the SFUSD today for inability to address the needs of multilingual and disabled students at Marina Middle School.
A civil rights law firm filed a complaint against the San Francisco Unified School District today for inability to address the needs of multilingual and disabled students at Marina Middle School, following an investigation by The Examiner on the school’s disciplinary and staffing problems.
A settlement was reached in 2004 requiring all California public students have access to qualified teachers. According to the landmark lawsuit, school districts must correct teacher vacancies and unlawful teacher assignments within 30 days. According to the complaint, members of the school community shared with the law firm that both daily and long-term substitute teachers are “regularly called upon to cover classes” and that certified staff are “asked to give up preparation periods to provide class coverage.” There were repeated requests by school leadership to paraprofessionals and security personnel to cover classes that lack full-time educators.
Another S.F. middle school falls into disciplinary chaos Marina Middle School administrators are accused of inadequate safety practices and breaking education laws “More than 50% of the students at Marina Middle School identify as Asian and 88% speak either Cantonese, Spanish, Toishanese, Arabic and Mandarin. Many are newcomers to San Francisco. Education is a fundamental right that these students have been unable to access. This issue needs immediate action,” she said.
