Award decision making process

The Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF) and San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) decided on award amounts with a 3 part process:

  1. Prioritization
    School sites received 5 priority points for each priority criteria met for a maximum of 15 priority points.
  2. Scoring
    Applications needed to score 65 points or higher to be considered.
  3. Final Deliberation
    DCYF and SFUSD decided awards based on each application’s alignment with SFUSD Goals and Guardrails, budget, and overall capacity of school sites.
