San Francisco teachers, district reach deal after first strike in decades

The agreement includes a 6% raise over two years, fully funded family healthcare starting in 2027, and special education support in a $183 million deal, union said.

  • On Friday, the San Francisco Unified School District and the union reached a tentative agreement, ending a weeklong strike that closed schools for about 50,000 students, the sides said.
  • UESF pressed for fully funded family healthcare and higher wages during year-long bargaining as SFUSD cited fiscal constraints and state oversight limiting its ability to meet demands.
  • The tentative contract includes fully funded family healthcare phased in by Jan 1, 2027, and 2% raises for certificated employees, including teachers, this year and next.
  • The deal must be ratified by union members and approved by the San Francisco Board of Education, with state officials able to review for fiscal soundness.
  • Some analysts warn the San Francisco outcome may encourage coordinated strikes statewide as the California Teachers Association's 'We Can't Wait' campaign aligns contract timelines and UESF leaders see a foundation for other California districts and unions.
