About African American Achievement & Leadership initiative

The African American Achievement and Leadership Initiative (AAALI) was established in 2013 to provide recommendations to interrupt the inequitable pattern of outcomes for African American students in SFUSD. In 2015, through the leadership of the Superintendent and advocacy of the NAACP and San Francisco Alliance of Black School Educators, an African American Achievement and Leadership team was established to lead implementation of the initiative.

The African American Achievement and Leadership Initiative holds SFUSD departments and city agencies accountable for providing a high–quality educational experience to African American students, and provides a platform for African American students, parents, and community leadership.

AAALI’s core purpose is to promote the success of African American students and families by supporting academic and social-emotional learning, elevating effective practices and strategies, and cultivating leaders in the work of deconstructing systemic barriers to African American achievement.
