Matt started his career as a social studies teacher at Balboa High School in 1996. In the early 2000s he worked with parents, youth and educators in a multi-racial movement for small, community-based schools, which led to the founding of June Jordan School for Equity. At JJSE, he led a student body that was more than 80% low-income and nearly 30% special education students, and Black and Latinx students graduated and were accepted to college at rates exceeding most other schools in SFUSD.
