Summary
Ballot Simplification Committee
The Way It Is Now: Gabriela López is a member of the Board of Education (School Board) that governs the San Francisco Unified School District (School District). The School District operates the San Francisco public school system through 12th grade.
On November 6, 2018, Gabriela López was elected to the School Board to a four-year term ending on January 8, 2023.
On November 8, 2022, the City will hold its regularly scheduled election for School Board members, and the candidates elected at that time would serve for a full four-year term beginning on January 8, 2023.
The Proposal: Proposition B is a recall measure that would remove Gabriela López from the School Board 10 days after the Board of Supervisors declares the results of this election. The Mayor would then appoint a replacement to serve on the School Board for the rest of Gabriela López’s term.
The replacement appointed by the Mayor may run as a candidate for the School Board in the November 2022 election.
Financial effect
City Controller Ben Rosenfield
Should the proposed School Board recall measure be approved by the voters, in my opinion, it would have a minimal impact on the cost of government.
As is always the case in our ballot analysis, this does not include the cost of administering the election, which is unchanged regardless of the outcome of the measure.
