Looking ahead with SFUSD Superintendent Matt Wayne

Earlier this year, The San Francisco Unified School District  announced that it will need to cut costs to address their budget deficit and declining enrollment. The cuts could result in school closures. 

As part of their decision making process, They are inviting the public to a series of community conversations to solicit their input. 

To understand how this will work and what this all means for the future of San Francisco’s public schools and their students, KALW’s Executive Producer Ben Trefny had a conversation with SFUSD Superintendent Matt Wayne.

This interview was produced by Sandra Halladey.

If you are interested in attending SFUSD's upcoming Town Hall conversations you can register here.

This interview aired in the 3/27/24 episode of Crosscurrents.

I joined KALW in 2004. As Executive News Editor and then News Director, I helped our news department win numerous regional and national awards for long- and short-form journalism. I've also helped create numerous training programs — for teenagers, incarcerated people, and early-career journalists — and have taught hundreds of audio producers. I served as interim Executive Director for nearly two years. My work is currently focused on creating original live events, programming, and building partnerships with like-minded organizations.
