Parents are left scrambling to find alternatives while pushing for solutions to stop the closure.

Bay Area schools grapple with cellphone bans as Gov. Gavin Newsom pushes to expand them throughout California.

With an election coming, the board president has resigned. Mayor London Breed replaced her with a charter school veteran, drawing ire from the powerful teachers union.
