Mayor Gavin Newsom today launched a new citywide anti-truancyeducation campaign in partnership with local small businesses to combat
truancy among San Francisco students. Joined by Superintendent Carlos
Garcia and Board of Education Vice President Hydra Mendoza, today’s
launch focused on the lower 24 th Street small business corridor in the
Mission District and will soon be implemented in small businesses
corridors citywide.
“Combating truancy and chronic absences through an aggressive,
focused and coordinated effort must be our shared priority this school

merchants and the entire community to keep kids in school, we can close
the ‘graduation gap’ and help our students succeed for the future.” Read more.
