""Public funding requires public money," said union president Cassondra Curiel to Mission Local during the February strike. "As long as we're not violating the law, I don't see what the problem is.""
"The San Francisco Unified School District argued that using one-time funds for ongoing expenses could lead SFUSD into even more financial trouble, potentially leading to layoffs in the future."
The San Francisco school district faced a critical decision during a four-day educators' strike regarding the use of its $400 million reserve funds. The district, supported by Board President Phil Kim, opted to utilize these funds to fulfill teachers' demands for healthcare and salary increases, potentially depleting the reserves by 2028. The district warned that this decision could lead to future financial difficulties and layoffs. The United Educators of San Francisco advocated for using the reserves, emphasizing the need for public funding to support teachers' needs.
