SFUSD superintendent Maria Su's contract renewed two more years, sources say

"Su was brought in last year to replace Superintendent Matt Wayne after he was pushed out of the district. She has faced criticism from both the principals' and teachers' unions in the past few months as they negotiate new contracts with the district. The principals' union reached a tentative agreement last month, avoiding a potential strike and planned walk-out of an administrators' meeting."

"Su had been a member of the school stabilization team named by then-Mayor London Breed to aid Wayne in his plan to close and consolidate multiple schools in an effort to balance a budget that faced a $114 million deficit. Su has since gained the approval of Mayor Daniel Lurie, but members of the teachers' union say they would rather see a superintendent with more experience in education."

Maria Su's contract with the San Francisco school district was extended for at least two more years and will transition from a city contract to an official district contract. The extension was cited as necessary for stability. Su replaced Superintendent Matt Wayne last year after serving on a city-named school stabilization team that worked to address a $114 million budget deficit. The principals' union reached a tentative agreement, while the teachers' union raised concerns about Su's lack of experience in education, a new payroll system that caused missed paychecks, and potential future budget problems. Su has mayoral approval.
