"The recommendations here alone will not solve the stability crisis in our district. But, we are happy to see validation of what we already know- that SFUSD can and must stabilize staffing and special education programs for our students,"
"What we have offered a 6% pay increase over the next three years, so 2% each year for all our labor partners and UESF as well as fully funded family healthcare which was a priority we heard from the union, so we want to be able to work with them,"
"Any offer that we make we need to be able to afford for the next three years. We have set aside some money in our reserve for one time emergency uses that are approved by the board of education for those purposes, so we cannot use our reserves to fund ongoing expenses like salaries."
"did not go far enough"
United Educators of San Francisco and San Francisco Unified School District have negotiated for 11 months without reaching agreement, leaving the union on the brink of a potential strike. Over 5,000 educators voted yes last week to a potential strike. SFUSD offered a 6% pay increase over three years (2% annually) and fully funded family healthcare despite a projected $100 million budget deficit. The union says fact-finding recommendations did not resolve staffing and special education stability issues. A confirmed strike could cost the district millions per day and affect roughly 50,000 students and families.
