旧金山教委选举温和派横扫三席 教师工会十年来首次无人当选
加利福尼亚州旧金山市消息，旧金山选民选出教委主席Phil Kim与两名新人Tim Tang、Autumn Brown-Garibay进入市教育委员会，教师工会十多年来首次无人赢得席位，温和派政治联盟取得决定性胜利。计票于选举日开始后持续紧张进行，结果于11月6日周四最终确定，三名胜选者均获得温和派团体GrowSF与旧金山民主党的背书。Kim是现任教委主席，选举夜投票结束后不久即确认连任；Tang是一名公共财政分析师，Brown-Garibay是一名学区家长，两人于周四拿下其余两个席位，计票继续进行至周五时每人得票率约为15.5%。
这意味着十多年来首次，没有一名获得旧金山联合教育者工会背书的候选人赢得七人教委会的席位。工会推出的候选人名单，Virginia Cheung、Ryan Hazelton与Raina Téllez，得票依次落后于三名领先者。这是自2016年以来教师工会首次在教委选举中颗粒无收。
新组成的教委会任期内将面临一系列艰难而重大的决定，涉及学区招生制度与学校布局，包括在旧金山联合学区应对入学人数萎缩与预算压力之际可能进行的学校合并。选举结果也显示温和派已成为旧金山近年市政选举中的一股主要力量，教育议题上的路线之争仍将持续。
Moderate Slate Sweeps Three San Francisco School Board Seats; Teachers Union Shut Out for First Time in a Decade
SAN FRANCISCO, California — San Francisco voters elected school board president Phil Kim and newcomers Tim Tang and Autumn Brown-Garibay to the Board of Education, leaving the teachers union without a seat for the first time in more than a decade in a decisive win for the city's moderate political alliance. Counting ran close after Election Day and the results were settled on Thursday, November 6; all three winners were endorsed by the moderate group GrowSF and the San Francisco Democratic Party. Kim, the incumbent board president, was confirmed re-elected shortly after polls closed on election night; Tang, a public finance analyst, and Brown-Garibay, a district parent, took the other two seats on Thursday, each holding about 15.5% as counting continued into Friday.
For the first time in over a decade, no candidate endorsed by United Educators of San Francisco won a seat on the seven-member board. The union-backed slate — Virginia Cheung, Ryan Hazelton and Raina Téllez — finished in order behind the three leaders. It is the union's first school board shutout since 2016.
The new board faces a run of hard, consequential decisions on enrollment policy and school configuration, including possible school mergers as the San Francisco Unified School District contends with shrinking enrollment and budget pressure. The result also confirms moderates as a leading force in recent San Francisco city elections, with the fight over the direction of education policy set to continue.
