Negotiations between the San Francisco teachers union and the school district have stalled, raising the prospect of the city's first teachers strike in 47 years. Key disputes include pay raises, dependent healthcare, proposed "sanctuary" district policies, and proposals affecting class-size limits and other contract stipulations. Union members authorized a strike in early December with historic participation and overwhelming support, and a second vote is concluding.

Union leaders counter that the package would sacrifice existing benefits.
