Two days after San Francisco public school teachers voted 99.34 percent to authorize a strike, and Mission Local reported that the district is considering deep cuts that could include layoffs, Superintendent Maria Su announced that the school district is on track to stabilize its budget, and return to local control over its finances. But that's only if the school district "continue[s] to make budget cuts for next school year and avoid any significant cost escalations," Su said.
A group of around 20 teachers at Harris Academy Beckenham went on strike on July 8 and 9 in protest against the school's alleged treatment of its overseas teachers as well as their workload, claiming it amounted to racism.
