SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — A tentative agreement has been reached between the San Francisco Unified School District and the United Educators of San Francisco, both sides announced Friday morning, ending a teachers’ strike that began earlier this week.
“I recognize that this past week has been challenging. Thank you to the SFUSD staff, community-based partners, and faith and city leaders who partnered with us to continue centering our students in our work every day,” said superintendent Maria Su.
According to the union, the agreement was reached around 5:30 a.m., following a 13-hour bargaining session.
“By forcing SFUSD to invest in fully funded family healthcare, special education workloads, improved wages, sanctuary and housing protections for San Francisco families, we’ve made important progress towards the schools our students deserve,” union president, Cassondra Curiel said in a statement. “This contract is a strong foundation for us to continue to build the safe and stable learning environments our students deserve.”
Classes are slated to resume on Wednesday, Feb. 18, following the Presidents’ Day holiday on Monday and the observance of Lunar New Year on Tuesday.
