SF mayor to appoint school board member, sources say
Just three weeks before the November election, Mayor London Breed is expected to fill a vacancy on the San Francisco school board with one of the candidates she endorsed for the job.
Sources close to the mayor’s office say Breed will appoint school social worker Faauuga Moliga to the board at a Monday morning news conference.
Superintendent Vince Matthews confirmed the mayor’s office contacted the district over the weekend about finding a location for an unspecified announcement Monday morning. Matthews said the district reserved space for 11 a.m. at June Jordan School for Equity. All school board members were invited to attend.
Moliga is one of 18 candidates for three open positions on the board.
