San Francisco Chronicle education reporter Jill Tucker joins us with an update on the state of San Francisco Unified. The district is facing a $114 million budget deficit, staffing cuts, and looming school closures — all while navigating federal funding reductions and political pressure on issues from diversity to curriculum. How will these challenges impact kids and their families?
Then, back-to-school season is here! Child psychologist Dr. Allison Briscoe-Smith shares practical strategies for easing anxiety, re-establishing routines, and helping kids — and parents — start the year on the right foot.
And later, we learn about Oakland's Baba’s House, a mahjong speakeasy where tradition meets nightlife.
