Why PPS-SF Backs Prop D: Fighting for Our Classrooms

Our mission at Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco (PPS-SF) is to ensure the success of every public school. Classrooms cannot thrive without stable public funding. This is why we are endorsing Proposition D on the June 2 ballot.

Prop D—the Overpaid CEO Tax—safeguards the revenue streams our community relies on by making multi-billion-dollar corporations pay their fair share. For our families, this isn't just about fiscal policy; it’s about protecting critical resources. Budget shortfalls put specialized student programs at risk first. By generating up to $300 million annually for essential city services and care infrastructure, Prop D helps prevent municipal cuts that threaten our most vulnerable children, including those in special education. True parent advocacy means protecting the resources our children deserve to reach their goals. Let's stand together for public education.

🗳️ Vote YES on Prop D by June 2
