<p>Enrollment in San Francisco public schools hit the skids this year, raising concerns that the district&#8217;s funding will shrink as pandemic-related federal and state funding dries up. </p>

At a budget meeting on Tuesday, district officials said that San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) lost 700 students during this school year, in addition to a decline of 1,000 recorded at the beginning of the year. Those students represent a drop of 3.2 percent year-over-year, and a notably larger reduction compared to prior years. By comparison, enrollment was roughly flat between 2018 and 2020, according to district data.&nbsp;

Perhaps more striking was a nearly 10 percent drop in kindergarten enrollment, a change that “will carry over into future years,” said Lauren Koehler, a placement director at SFUSD.&nbsp;

The decline was most pronounced among white students, said Koehler, with a 55 percent <a href="https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/sfusd/Board.nsf/files/C3L3HT06FFC9/$file/21%20-%2006.02%20BBS%20Committee_Item%202%20Student%20Enrollment%20Trends_final.pdf">drop in enrollment</a> in that cohort. The zip codes with the largest declines in applications were the Excelsior, the Sunset, Twin Peaks and Glen Park. For kindergarten, those zip codes were in the Mission and Inner Richmond.

“If we don’t bring our kids back and reach those original levels of enrollment, we do run the risk of seeing declining revenue for the 2022 and 2023 budgets,” said Meghan Wallace, chief financial officer at SFUSD. “We need to make sure we’re bringing students back, and monitoring enrollment trends.”&nbsp;

Prior to the pandemic, SFUSD had forecast growth in enrollment <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GVnFHp3wJKv8gx74u6BydA3OiG0JKTb5/view">over the next decade</a>, with analysts projecting 5,000 additional students by 2030.&nbsp;

However, a combination of general pandemic-related upheaval and deep frustration with SFUSD’s <a href="https://sfstandard.com/san-francisco-school-reopening-plan-unions-stalled-vaccine/">slow reopening</a> appears to have driven a significant number of families out of the district, and perhaps in some cases out of San Francisco entirely. District officials said they hope to gather more data on housing, birth trends and private school enrollment to assess the likelihood of an enrollment recovery.&nbsp;

One parent, who left the district in March, <a href="https://twitter.com/JenniferSey/status/1397612121152704515">wrote on Twitter</a> that she moved her family 1,000 miles away to Denver so that her kindergartener could “access school, make friends &amp; enjoy learning.”&nbsp;

Enrollment in SFUSD carries high stakes as the district stares down a budget deficit that is expected to widen in coming years.&nbsp;

<p>Enrollment in SFUSD carries high stakes as the district stares down a budget deficit that is expected to widen in coming years.&nbsp;</p>

For fiscal 2022, which ends in June of next year, the district expects a deficit of $100 million, which it described as “moderate.” That immediate deficit will likely be wiped out by one-time federal stimulus funds approved during the pandemic, but in subsequent years, the deficit will balloon to $122 million by 2024. The budget estimates do not account for any drop in enrollment.&nbsp;

“The moderate deficit is not moderate, that’s 10 percent of your budget,” said Elizabeth Kelly, a SFUSD parent who called into the meeting. “That’s pretty grim.”&nbsp;

Through a state system called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), school district funding is determined by average daily attendance. The state opted to hold districts temporarily harmless for pandemic-related drops in enrollment, but will begin taking daily attendance into account in funding calculations in 2022.&nbsp;

For now, the district aims to boost enrollment by “rebuilding trust” in the system, according to Orla O’Keefe, head of policy and operations at SFUSD.&nbsp;The district plans to <a href="https://sfstandard.com/san-francisco-schools-full-return-fall-plan-new-start-times/">fully reopen schools </a>in the fall, albeit with new start times and a possible continuation of mask requirements.

SFUSD enrollment drops, exacerbating budget woes

San Francisco has never been known for its late-night dining. And during the pandemic, when Covid restrictions <a href="https://sfstandard.com/arts-culture/san-francisco-restaurant-number-market-trend-pandemic/">cut the restaurant industry to the bone</a>, finding witching hour eats anywhere other than a fast-food chain or taco shop was truly rare.&nbsp;

But four months into 2022, with the city finally approaching something resembling a new normal, many may find that the after-hours DoorDash menu just isn’t cutting it anymore. Fortunately, week after week, more neighborhood favorites, corner bars, pizza makers and Asian diners are serving up the club-goers, bar-closers and late shift set with every sort of fare the city has to offer.&nbsp;

“We’re bringing back late night,” says Tony Cooney, co-owner of <a href="https://www.pourguys.com/">Pour Guys</a>, a chain of four local taverns—The Tempest, Louie’s, Connecticut Yankee and The Showdown—known for their late-night menus. Cooney says he’s seen a pickup in business the past three weeks.&nbsp;

Cooney says he’s seen a pickup in business the past three weeks.&nbsp;</p>

“We’re bartender’s bars—well, we actually serve the whole restaurant industry, cooks, waitstaff, everyone who ends their shift and wants to eat good food,” says Cooney, who served libations at some of the city’s best watering holes for years before buying into his first bar in 2010.

Cooney and his partners all came from the restaurant industry and knew there weren’t a lot of good options for casual late-night food in the city.&nbsp; “We wanted to offer a place where you can always go late at night and get a fernet and a good burger and seasonal produce,” he said.

How late is “late-night”? The consensus among our contributors is that these days, getting a real meal in SF at just before 10 p.m. smells like victory. A bit later on the weekends? Even better.

So whether you want artisanal ice cream, Korean BBQ, family-recipe pizza or gas station fried chicken, The Standard’s list has a late-night sate to hold you ’til sunrise.

Get &#8217;em with froot loops, get &#8217;em with maple and bacon and get in line to get &#8217;em 24-hours a day. After a long night of drinking nearby, a straight-forward buttermilk might be the safe call.  But they&#8217;ll pack you a pink box full for the morning. Bob&#8217;s are fresh day and night. The NoPa location on Baker is equally yummy but closes at 9 p.m., sadly.
