"The union last week reportedly rejected a three-year deal dubbed a "stability package," which included a 6% raise spread over three years. The union is also seeking contract language protecting undocumented students and those from mixed-status families, and a reduction in case loads for paraeducators. The union is seeking 9% raises for certified teachers, spread over two years, and 14% hikes for paraeducators."
"The SFUSD, meanwhile, is facing a $113 million budget deficit, and an ongoing pattern of declining enrollment which has also deeply impacted other districts, including Oakland's. That led to a controversial October 2024 proposal to shutter or consolidate 11 schools a proposal that threw the district into turmoil, and led to a shakeup that brought in a new superintendent. That superintendent, Maria Su, emailed district families and staff on Friday informing them that negotiations were at another impasse."
Teachers in the San Francisco Unified School District voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, with 99% approving the first legally mandated vote and strong turnout on a second vote. The union rejected a proposed three-year "stability package" offering a 6% raise and is seeking 9% raises for certified teachers over two years and 14% for paraeducators, along with contract protections for undocumented and mixed-status students and reduced paraeducator caseloads. District leaders cite a $113 million budget deficit and declining enrollment that prompted proposals to close or consolidate schools. Negotiations remain at an impasse.
