""Students are losing instructional time. Families are scrambling to take care of their children, to arrange child care,""
San Francisco public school teachers, members of United Educators of San Francisco, launched their first strike since 1979 after bargaining with the district failed to produce agreement on pay and healthcare. Schools closed Monday and were announced closed Tuesday, affecting about 50,000 students and prompting the district to post resources for learning, food, and childcare. City officials urged keeping schools open briefly to allow talks to continue; bargaining resumed Monday afternoon with no set end date. Teachers cited unaffordable living costs and rising healthcare premiums that are driving staff departures and creating hundreds of vacancies. Picketing occurred across school sites, and district leaders warned of lost instructional time and family disruption.
