Q: What does this vote then have been interpreted as a vote of no confidence in the superintendent?
It's still a rejection, and it still makes the district unable to do what they're supposed to do, which is to tell the state, here's our plan going forward.
What is going on in the SFUSD...an interview with John Trasvina
Q: What does that mean? I mean, where do we stay in?
We have a superintendent who is functional. We have a board that is functional. But together, they need to figure out a way of moving forward together.
