Overview
- Nearly 50,000 students returned to classrooms Wednesday as SFUSD reopened following last week’s strike and the Presidents’ Day and Lunar New Year holidays.
- More than 6,000 educators ended the walkout Friday with a tentative agreement that includes a 5% teacher raise over two years and an 8.5% increase for paraeducators.
- The proposal would provide fully paid health coverage for all 6,500 union members and their families beginning in January, subject to final approval.
- Superintendent Maria Su said unions will vote within weeks, then the district will submit an AB1200 fiscal report for a Board of Education vote targeted for March.
- Facing a roughly $100 million deficit, SFUSD expects to use reserves to cover near-term costs and is preparing for possible layoffs or school closures, with any layoff notices due by March 15.
