As three San Francisco Unified School District school board members face a recall election in February, some parents fear it could mean a halt to progress made in expanding opportunities for underserved students.

In a story published Monday, KQED spoke to African American and Latino parents who felt their voices had been drowned out in the recall election that has drawn national attention. 

Recall advocates are frustrated with three of the district's seven school board members because schools have remained closed over the past year despite the reopening of private schools.

At the same time, the board addressed other issues, including renaming schools and changing the admissions policy for Lowell High School, the state's high school.
