AmandaAnthony

Steven Kassel

Two candidates have set their eyes on an open seat on the South San Francisco Unified School District Board of Trustees, a vacancy being left by current board President John Baker who has voluntarily stepped down to make way for more diversity in local governance.

Vying for the seat is Amanda Anthony, a former educator and current program manager at South San Francisco’s Economic Advancement Center, and Steven Kassel, a tax consultant and youth athletics coach.

Both candidates share similar perspectives on many issues, a main one being the importance of encouraging parent involvement on and off campus. Kassel argued parents play a key role in educating the whole student, including their social and emotional learning, and suggested the district should do more to help non-English speaking parents learn English so their students can have more language support at home.

Echoing Kassel, Anthony said studies have shown students need at least five adults in their lives to “make sure they stay whole,” and when parents are pulled out of the equation schools are put under more pressure to fill in the gaps.

“There isn’t as much family engagement in schools as there should be. I know from talking with family members they maybe feel schools as an institution are not a place for them,” Anthony said. “I would love to have more space for the community to work together to build the school together.”

Recognizing that parents often cannot play more active roles on campus, Anthony said addressing staffing through competitive salaries and establishing career ladders are two important steps to keep people from leaving.

Similarly, Kassel said the district’s pay “isn’t terrible” compared to neighboring districts but noted SSFUSD is often used as a stepping stone to better paying positions outside the district. Staff housing could play a strong part in keeping teachers centrally located, he said, acknowledging that the district has plans to pursue the initiative through a bond measure, but ultimately, he said the future board will need to reassess teacher pay.

“I don’t want to lose teachers. The worst thing you can do is have a retention problem. That’s something that is absolutely a top priority,” Kassel said.

Bolstering the classroom environment doesn’t have to be done alone, the candidates agreed. Both argued that a key budgeting issue will be fundraising dollars from the community, particularly from large companies located in the area, to help pay for classroom supplies and other needs.

As for equity and the district’s role in preparing students for life outside the school grounds, Kassel said staff should focus more on educating student on the financial supports available to those who are interesting in attending college.

“There’s tons of money out there but we’re not informing our students,” Kassel said. “A lot of it comes down to getting the word out there of what’s available. I personally do that all the time and I shouldn’t have to as a coach.”

He and Anthony also agreed that more emphasis should be placed on trade schools with Anthony suggesting the district look into establishing mentorship programs and pulling role models into the classroom.

“It’s about figuring out how to get resources in the right place so kids have the same access to opportunities and outcomes regardless of where they come from,” Anthony said.

Trustees Mina Richardson and Chialin Hsieh are both running for reelection unchallenged, Richardson in Area E and Hsieh in Area C. Current board President John Baker, who was appointed to the board January 2016 and then elected November of that same year, would have been up for reelection in Area C this year. Because of district changes, he was an at-large member.

RICHMOND — Can you ferry a boat, sling delicious hors d’oeuvres, tidy up bedsheets and make guests feel at home in a five-room inn in the middle of San Pablo Bay?

If so, the picturesque East Brother Light Station may have a job for you.

Applications are open for two new innkeepers to keep the nearly 150-year-old lighthouse up and running for two years, starting in April 2023.

“People who typically apply have been in the hospitality industry and they like working with the public; they’re people who have worked on boats for a long time,” said Tom Butt, Richmond’s outgoing mayor and president of the East Brother Light Station Inc., which runs the lighthouse. “It’s very attractive for those type of people: Boats and lighthouses are like peanut butter and jelly.”

Perched on a rocky mound near Point Molate and visible from the Richmond Bridge, the iconic bed-and-breakfast offers beautiful panoramic views of the San Francisco and San Pablo bays.

In addition to seasonal day visits and special events, visitors on the island can enjoy rented-out rooms inside the goldenrod California Victorian structures — surrounded by miles of shimmering salt water and the occasional harbor seal — Thursday through Sunday for $475 to $525 a night.

While it’s a dream job for some, the role is not an breeze or some cushy, luxury getaway.

“It’s a really cool place, but the one thing the job doesn’t allow you to do is sit around and drink piña coladas while enjoying the view,” Butt said. “It’s hard work.”

Innkeepers must assume the role of maid, boat captain, gift shop attendant, tour guide, host and chef with “high-quality culinary experience” to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. Applicants who are smokers, live with children or have pets will not be selected.

Additionally, at least one of the innkeepers must have a Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Credential boat operator’s license, in order to safely ferry guests from the launch at 1900 Stenmark Drive in Richmond to East Brother Island and back.

Two previous innkeepers, Tiffany Danse and Tyler Waterson, estimated they worked at least 80 to 90 hours each week to maintain East Brother Light Station, which is a registered California Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The current innkeepers, Bryan and Stephanie Wesolek, will be leaving after their two-year commitment comes to a close at the end of March.

The newly chosen duo, which does not have to be a romantic couple, will be compensated with a majority portion of the profits of the inn, after the expenses of operation are subtracted. On top of benefits like a health care plan, two weeks of vacation and onsite living quarters on the nearly three-quarters of an acre island, the keepers’ gross pay in 2021-22 was $140,000 split between them.

Butt said there are other perks, too, such as tips and networking opportunities to land future gigs. “You might make me your future employer while working,” he said.

Butt said the staff is supported by volunteers who help out with maintenance of the facilities, such as painting and repair jobs around the grounds. While the $300,000 nonprofit has a list of 300 volunteers, there is a core group of a dozen stewards who work the grounds weekly, Butt said.

And without access to Wi-Fi, reliable cell service and plumbing — aside from a rainwater catchment and cistern system — the job takes the concept of “remote work” to another level.

The nonprofit, which Butt founded, has leased the island from the Coast Guard and run the business, primarily as a means to afford costly repairs and upkeep.

The restored inn was opened in 1980, a few decades after the Coast Guard decommissioned the island’s historic lighthouse keepers in favor of automatic boat beacons.

A candidate running in November’s election for the board governing City College of San Francisco posted controversial views condemning critical race theory, often referred to as CRT, in a since-deleted tweet.

The revelation on Twitter of a prior comment by board trustee candidate Marie Hurabiell is now prompting a Democratic club in the city to reopen discussions on their endorsement for her, the club’s president told KQED.

In the tweet, which was published in May 2021, Hurabiell wrote, “CRT was a tactic used by Hitler and the KKK.” These were not her words; Rather, Hurabiell was amplifying the words of a speaker at a school board meeting in Loudoun County, Va.

A screenshot of a now-deleted tweet from board trustee candidate Marie Hurabiell published in May 2021. (Twitter)

Then, Hurabiell added, in her own words, “Gratitude to this strong and passionate parent for fighting this dangerous nonsense.”

Critical race theory is at an academic school of thought teaching how racism is baked into the systems and policies of the United States. It entered the national spotlight last year as a bogeyman of conservatives looking to lambaste local school boards. Striking critical race theory from school campuses is among a number of efforts by conservatives to reform school boards across the country over the past year, including banning books promoting racial equity and LGBTQ+ themes.

Outrage against CRT is usually reserved for screeds on ultraconservative websites like Breitbart, or on President Donald Trump’s social network, Truth Social. It’s certainly not an everyday talking point in liberal San Francisco.

The Virginia school board meeting took place amid heated rhetoric against critical race theory from then-gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin. After he won the race, Youngkin issued an executive order to end “inherently divisive concepts,” which he billed as a way to end critical race theory from being taught in K-12 schools.

Fanning flames against critical race theory was central to Republicans in his race, but in Democratic San Francisco, Hurabiell may have found a sympathetic ear for those views from people wishing to recall several local school board members.

In the deleted tweet, Hurabiell tagged numerous accounts, including an account of the San Francisco Board of Education recall called @recallsfboe that belongs to a group now called the SF Guardians. That group worked to successfully recall school board commissioners Gabriela López, Alison Collins and Faauuga Moliga.

“I think it was a really stupid thing that I said,” Hurabiell told KQED. “I think it was really stupid that I retweeted it and I’m extremely apologetic for that.”

Hurabiell said she believes systemic racism is a “real problem” in the country.

“In my life I have not spent a lot of time digging into CRT, but I’m trying to understand it better now,” she said. “I’m always open to being wrong.”

When asked if she usually calls things she doesn’t know about “dangerous nonsense,” she responded, “I don’t routinely talk about things that I’m not terribly familiar with.”

Hurabiell is an eighth-generation San Franciscan and has been an attorney since the 1990s. She also serves on the Georgetown University Board of Regents. An ardent supporter of the recall campaigns of the three San Francisco Board of Education members and District Attorney Chesa Boudin, she also is a member of the nonprofit Stop Crime SF, which was started by Board of Supervisors candidate Joel Engardio.

Adele Failes-Carpenter, political director for the City College of San Francisco faculty union, AFT Local 2121, said Hurabiell’s views are out of step with the college’s mission.

“We need public education to keep our commitment to ending racism at the center of our work,” she said. “Anyone who is participating in open, reactionary attacks on critical examinations of the history of race and racism in this country is not in a position to help us do that work.”

Hurabiell has been endorsed by at least two local Democratic clubs in their race so far this year: the Eastern Neighborhoods Democratic Club and the United Democratic Club. These endorsements can be especially key in political races that don’t have as much funding, like down-ballot college board races.

When reached by text, Eastern Neighborhoods Democratic Club President Bruce Agid said he was not aware of Hurabiell’s tweet about critical race theory, and that he would discuss her views with his club’s board. Bobak Esfandiari, president of the United Democratic Club, did not answer texts inquiring about the club’s endorsement of Hurabiell.

Failes-Carpenter said the clubs should reconsider their endorsements.

“I would ask them to stand by students and by public educators that have committed to fighting racism within our public institutions and within our educational institutions, by not endorsing and supporting candidates who are openly hostile to anti-racist analyzes and anti-racist teaching, ” she said.

The endorsement of Hurabiell by two Democratic clubs may be an odd choice for another reason: For two decades Hurabiell was a Republican. She was appointed to the Presidio Trust Board of Directors, where she served for three years, by former President Donald Trump in 2018.

Records from the San Francisco Department of Elections show she was a registered Republican in San Francisco from at least 2000, which is as far back as more easily accessible records could reveal. She changed her party preference to Democrat on Aug. 18, 2022 — six days after she filed paperwork to run for the City College of San Francisco Board of Trustees.

San Francisco Democratic Party Chair Honey Mahogany said the organization’s bylaws do not specify how long someone needs to be registered as a Democrat before a Democratic club can endorse them. Furthermore, Democratic clubs are allowed to endorse someone of any party in nonpartisan races, like for City College’s Board of Trustees.

Hurabiell would have had an uphill battle running for office advertising herself as a Republican in San Francisco, where the party is widely disfavored in local elections.

San Francisco has no elected Republicans in office. The last Republican elected in San Francisco was the late James Fang, who formerly sat on the BART Board of Directors. He was first elected in 1990 and served until his defeat in 2014.

Hurabiell said she changed her party registration after joining a group called “No Labels,” and finding moderate Democrats who agreed with her on issues, but disliked her being known as a Republican Party member.

“We just wanted to solve problems. We just wanted to work together and effect positive change in our community,” she said.

The San Francisco Chronicle praised Hurabiell during her 2020 run for the college board — which she lost — endorsing her for “fiscal savvy.” Indeed, in her interview with KQED, she professed a desire to set City College on a fiscally solvent path, and expressed concern that too many classes that are still being offered are under-enrolled.

When Hurabiell said she didn’t know much about CRT, we asked whether she believed in other progressive causes that may be valued at City College, like the Black Lives Matter movement.

“I’m not sure I fully understand that movement,” she said, repeating her same explanation for having no stance on CRT. While the death of George Floyd left her “disgusted and devastated,” she said, “I want to say yes to that, but again I’m not sure I understand enough about it.”

Responding to Hurabiell’s repeated claims of not understanding both CRT and the Black Lives Matter movement, Jane Kim, state director of the California Working Families Party — who championed and won free City College tuition during her time on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors — bristled.

“Listen, it is one thing for an individual in our society or to say that they don’t know a lot about critical race theory or Black Lives Matter, but if you are a candidate that is running to represent over 800,000 residents of San Francisco , many of whom are people of color, then I think that it is your job to understand those things,” Kim said. “If you don’t understand the Black community, the Latino community, API community, then you shouldn’t be running for office.”

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mar 16, 2022–

Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP), the company that connects people with great local businesses, announced today the appointment of Chris Terrill, former chief executive officer of ANGI Homeservices (now Angi Inc.) and HomeAdvisor.com, to its Board of Directors , effective immediately.

Terrill is a tenured internet executive who has a strong record of building highly successful businesses, including ANGI Homeservices, which grew to a multi-billion-dollar public company by the time of his departure.

“Chris brings extensive experience in building online marketplaces that connect consumers with local service professionals,” said Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “His perspective will bring tremendous value as we continue to differentiate the services product experience for users and businesses on Yelp.”

Terrill has served as executive co-chairman of Z-Work Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company investing in the work technology business, since February 2021. He previously served as chief executive officer and a director of ANGI Homeservices (now Angi Inc. ), a digital marketplace for home services, from September 2017 to November 2018. Terrill served as chief executive officer of HomeAdvisor.com, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC that merged with Angie’s List in September 2017 to form ANGI Homeservices, beginning in May 2011. Prior to joining HomeAdvisor, Terrill held senior marketing roles at Nutrisystem.com, Blockbuster.com and Match.com. He holds a BS from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from the University of Houston.

Terrill joins Yelp’s Board of Directors following Brian Sharples’ decision to step down at the end of his current term on June 2, 2022, after serving more than three years on the Yelp Board and Audit Committee.

“We are pleased to welcome Chris to the Yelp board. His expertise, energy and enthusiasm for connecting people with great local service businesses will serve us well as we continue to execute our strategy and build long-term shareholder value,” said Diane Irvine, chair of the Yelp Board of Directors. “On behalf of the Board, I’d also like to extend my sincere appreciation to Brian for the expertise, valuable perspectives and commitment he has brought to the Yelp Board. We are grateful for his many contributions and wish him well in all future endeavors.”
