Schools' politics focus on Ackerman - Superintendent may lose job...

Since Ackerman took her post in 2000, the district has racked up four
years of rising achievement as measured by standardized test scores,
but it has shown less progress on a chief goal of hers -- closing the
achievement gap between African American students and their peers.... 

A school district's primary job is to boost the academic achievement
of its students -- and Ackerman has done this in terms of standardized
tests. Scores have been climbing for all groups of students, and San 
Francisco does better on tests than any other urban district in the 
state. 

But even though the district's African American students' scores are
improving, they still are lower than those of African American 
students in any other California urban district. Their high school
grade point average has been stuck at about 1.86 (D-plus) since 1999;
their attendance has not improved despite new truancy initiatives;
and they comprise 53.5 percent of the district's suspensions 
but make up just 14.5 percent of enrollment....
