A new report from the City and County of San Francisco Grand Jury warns that one in four teachers in the area are not credentialed and do not meet qualification standards to teach.

The report, “Not Making the Grade: San Francisco’s Shortage of Credentialed Teachers,” calls upon the school administration to address this critical issue.

“SFUSD does not employ an adequate number of credentialed teachers to afford a quality education to all San Francisco students,” reads the report.

The state of California requires all teachers to have credentials and only makes exception allowances in specific circumstances, but those exceptions are supposed to be temporary.

The grand jury’s report arrives following the release of documents finding an SFUSD teacher had to be suspended last year for discriminating against white students.
