"San Francisco public school teachers and their union celebrated Friday after negotiating a tentative agreement for a new contract with higher pay and fully funded family healthcare, ending a four-day walkout that was the city's first educator strike in nearly half a century. United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) said its bargaining team reached a two-year tentative deal with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) at around 5:30 am local time Friday."
"The agreement includes fully funded family health care, limits on the use of AI, sanctuary protections, and more. President of the United Teachers Los Angeles, Cecily Myart-Cruz, center in red, marches with hundreds of educators, school staff, students, and families in the second day of city-wide protests to support union leaders as they face off with SFUSD officials in San Francisco, California, on February 10, 2026."
United Educators of San Francisco reached a two-year tentative agreement with the San Francisco Unified School District after 11 months of bargaining. The deal ends a four-day walkout that closed about 120 public schools and involved roughly 6,000 teachers. Contract terms include fully funded family health coverage for dependents, raises of between 5–8.5%, caseload reductions for special educators, sanctuary protections for students and staff, limits on the use of artificial intelligence, and preservation and expansion of the Stay Over program. Classes are scheduled to resume next Wednesday as schools stabilize.
