California schools chief Tony Thurmond crashed San Francisco teachers strike talks — only to duck out early after offering little more than a “useless” tweet promising to “join the conversation,” a source told The Post. Thurmond, California’s superintendent of schools and a candidate for governor, blew into town mid-morning offering to help “facilitate” an end to the days-long strike that’s kept 50,000 students out of schools since Monday — but never made it into the negotiation room and skipped town by the afternoon, when discussions for the evening had barely started, a source said. 4 Superintendent of Schools Tony Thurmond at a recent California gubernatorial debate.
