"Connor Haught has been juggling virtual work meetings and arts and crafts projects for his two daughters as his family tries to navigate a teachers strike in San Francisco with no end date in sight. Haught's job in the construction industry allows him to work from home but, like many parents in the city, he and his wife were scrambling to plan activities for their children amid the uncertainty of a strike that has left nearly 50,000 students out of the classroom."
""The big concern for parents is really the timeline of it all and trying to prepare for how long this could go on," Haught said. The San Francisco Unified School District's 120 schools were set to remain closed for a third day Wednesday, after about 6,000 public schoolteachers went on strike over higher wages, health benefits, and more resources for students with special needs."
Nearly 50,000 San Francisco students are out of the classroom after about 6,000 public schoolteachers went on strike over wages, health benefits and special education resources. The San Francisco Unified School District closed 120 schools, leaving parents scrambling to arrange childcare, coordinate play dates, use after-school programs, rely on relatives, or consider costly camps. Parents express concern about the strike timeline and preparing for its duration. Some families with flexible work schedules are managing by working from home or organizing local activities, while teachers say they struck to secure fully funded family health care, raises and to fill vacant special-education positions.
