Mayor London Breed appointed a new San Francisco school board member Friday after San Francisco School Board President Lainie Motamedi suddenly announced her resignation citing personal and health reason, according to city officials.
The city's website issued a press release Friday on the changes to the school board, announcing that educator Phil Kim would fill the vacancy on the San Francisco Board of Education.Kim brings 'extensive experience in K-12 and STEM education, including most recently working for SFUSD in a senior leadership position to improve the District's school strategy,' according to the release.
Motamedi was praised for helping lead the district during the past two and a half years, increasing teacher pay and helping stabilize the district's troubled payroll system and improving district finances and operations during her tenure. She was made the president of the school board in January of this year. 'I am grateful for Lainie Motamedi's service to the City of San Francisco and our families,' Mayor Breed said in the release.
