Board Ratifies $183M Teacher Contract, Faces Fiscal Cliff by 2028-29

The San Francisco Board of Education unanimously approved the post-strike contract with the teachers' union, locking in raises and fully funded healthcare — then turned to a budget report warning the district could run out of reserves within two years. In between, dozens of parents, students, and workers packed the meeting to fight for school programs, demand contract negotiations, and expose payroll failures.

• $183M UESF teacher contract ratified 7-0 after four-day strike, with 4.5% and 4% raises plus fully funded healthcare tied to a parcel tax renewal

• Budget report warns 2028-29 is "danger year" with a $126 million restricted-fund deficit that could push SFUSD toward state receivership

• Guadalupe Elementary families rally against $6 million student busing program and denial of summer literacy and Spanish TK classes

• SEIU workers still without a contract since June 2024; UESF president reports teachers going unpaid due to systemic payroll failures

• Rosa Parks Elementary's parents demand staffing for a school where nearly one-third of students have IEPs but the assistant principal works half-time

• EPA clean air grant deadline looms as speakers warn classroom filtration is five years out of date

The board voted 7-0 to ratify the tentative agreement between SFUSD and the United Educators of San Francisco, ending a chapter that included a four-day educator strike. The deal delivers 4.5% salary increases in year one and 4% in year two, plus fully funded healthcare benefits — a centerpiece demand of the union.
