"The two-year tentative deal will give teachers the equivalent of a 5% raise over two years and, in a big win for the United Educators of San Francisco, the district will offer fully-funded healthcare for dependents starting on Jan. 1, 2027."
"The union said San Francisco teachers receive some of the lowest contributions to their health care costs in the Bay Area, with some having to pay at least $1,200 a month for a family health care plan, pushing many to leave."
"The union won more protections for immigrant students, including training for staff on how to address federal immigration enforcement, and agreement from the district against using artificial intelligence to replace teachers."
"This is truly monumental, Su said of the tentative agreement. For the first time in our school district's history, we are providing full family health benefits."
San Francisco teachers reached a tentative two-year contract agreement with the school district that ends a four-day strike affecting about 6,000 teachers and 50,000 students. The deal provides roughly a 5% raise spread over two years and guarantees fully funded healthcare for dependents beginning Jan. 1, 2027. Union representatives noted that many teachers faced some of the lowest employer contributions to health care in the Bay Area, with family plans costing up to $1,200 per month. The agreement secures more special education resources, protections and training for immigrant students, and a district commitment not to use artificial intelligence to replace teachers. Final approval requires both the school board and a majority union vote.
