The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) has abandoned a proposal to follow a “Grading for Equity” policy for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year, after it drew criticisms from the community and officials.

“It’s clear there are a lot of questions, concerns, and misinformation with this proposal. We want to make sure any changes benefit our students,” SFUSD Superintendent Maria Su said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times on May 29. “I have decided not to pursue this strategy for next year to ensure we have time to meaningfully engage the community.”
