"We won!"
"We know our work is not done,"
"While we didn't win everything we know we deserve, this strike allowed us to imagine our schools and classrooms as they should be with staffing levels high enough that our students can learn and thrive."
"I am so proud of the resilience and strength of our community. This is a new beginning, and I want to celebrate our diverse community of educators, administrators, parents, and students as we come together and heal."
San Francisco Unified School District and United Educators of San Francisco reached a tentative contract that provides a 5% raise over two years and fully funded healthcare for union members and their families beginning in 2027. The weeklong strike closed public schools for about 50,000 students and marked the first teachers' strike in the city since 1979. Campuses will not reopen until Wednesday, with Friday designated as a transition day and additional closures for Presidents Day and Lunar New Year. Families experienced disruptions to child care and meals. Union leaders framed the agreement as a win while urging continued work on staffing and school conditions.
