Due to the Covid pandemic, students are lacking letter grades and the SBAC test from the Spring. These two missing parts make it impossible to implement the normal admission process for Lowell High. A proposal will go before the Board of Education on Tuesday the 13th, for the 2021-22 school year only, that Lowell's regular admission process be suspended, and for Lowell to be included in the regular Student Assignment System along with other SFUSD schools. Information about the Student Assignment System can be found here: https://www.sfusd.edu/schools/enroll/student-assignment-policy The Board will take public comment at Tuesday's meeting and will vote on the proposal on October 20th.
