• Turning SFUSD around: Under Phil’s leadership, SFUSD has reduced its structural deficit (https://www.sfusd.edu/about-sfusd/sfusd-news/press-releases/2025-06-24-sf-board-education-adopts-budget-2025-26-school-year) and is beginning to see signs of enrollment recovery (https://sfstandard.com/2025/03/17/sfusd-enrollment-surge-tk/).
• Real classroom experience: Extensive experience in education (https://www.philkim.org/), including serving as a 7th grade science teacher, and spending years developing science curriculum in schools.‍
• Backed by public school parents: Phil has earned the support of major parent advocates like SF Parents Action (https://sfparentaction.org/june-2026-endorsement/).

Simply put, Phil has the experience and focus needed to get SFUSD back on track and we’re already seeing progress under his leadership. SFUSD is finally moving in the right direction. Now’s not the time to go backward.
