San Francisco Board of Education Votes to Remove Allison Collins As VP Over Racist Tweets

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Members of the San Francisco Board of Education on Thursday voted to remove Vice President Alison Collins from her leadership position over racist tweets she posted five years ago.

Collins has been under fire in recent weeks for the 2016 social media comments. The firestorm over Collins is just the latest involving the embattled leadership of San Francisco schools.

On Thursday evening Laura Dudnick with the San Francisco Unified School District confirmed that the SF Board of Education on Thursday passed the resolution “Assertion of No-Confidence,” removing Commissioner Collins from her leadership position as Vice President and from all committees of the San Francisco Board of Education “for the duration of her term and effective immediately.”

Dudnick told KPIX the resolution was co-authored by Commissioners Jenny Lam and Faauuga Moliga, and was passed by the SF Board of Education in a vote of 5 to 2.
