"The San Francisco teachers' union and the SF Unified School District reached a tentative deal that was announced at 6 am Friday, after four days on strike, with the union getting a key benefit they had been seeking. The historic teachers' strike is over after a bargaining session that went through the night Thursday into Friday. As Mission Local reports, the union succeeded in getting fully funded healthcare for teachers with families, at the expense of their demand for salary raises."
"Instead of the 8% pay hike they were seeking over two years, teachers will get a 5% raise over two years though the Chronicle clarifies that it works out to 6% because of two extra training days being added to teachers' calendars. SF teachers are uniquely, among local districts, able to take yearlong sabbaticals that are fully paid after working for seven years, and while these will continue, the district won a concession that these will be paused for one year."
A tentative agreement ended a four-day San Francisco teachers' strike after an overnight bargaining session. The deal funds family healthcare, phased from 50% coverage on July 1 to 100% on January 1, 2027. Teachers will receive a 5% raise over two years, effectively about 6% because two extra training days are added to the calendar. Paraeducators will receive an 8.5% raise over two years, and special educators will see slight caseload reductions. Yearlong paid sabbaticals remain but will be paused for one year. The overall agreement is priced at $183 million and schools were closed for Friday.
