SFUSD students want to celebrate the Giants victory too, but their absences cost our schools precious dollars. LET'S BE STRONGER TOGETHER,LET'S BE CHAMPIONS TOGETHER: Ask the Giants to donate at least $160,000 to the SFUSD to make up for the lost funding.
Why is this important?
In both 2010 and 2012, at least half the students in the San Francisco Unified School District skipped classes to attend the Giants World Series victory parades. Because schools receive state funding based on daily attendance, these absences resulted in losses of over $160,00 in 2012 alone to the school district. This is a loss our schools can ill afford, and yet who can blame students for wanting to share in the Giants' victory? We call on Larry Baer, President and CEO of the Giants, to donate at least $160,000 to the SFUSD this year (2014) to compensate for the lost funding our schools will experience as their students join in celebrating our 2014 World Champion San Francisco Giants. Let the Giants and SFUSD BE STRONGER TOGETHER! BE CHAMPIONS TOGETHER! LET'S GO GIANTS! LET'S GO SFUSD!
