The first strike by San Francisco teachers in nearly 50 years has ended after four days of picket lines, rallies and long negotiations.
On Friday, San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Maria Su announced that the district had reached a «tentative agreement» with the United Educators of San Francisco union after a «really difficult» week.
«We stretched our resources to the limit to get this agreement done,» Su said in a press conference just before 10 a.m.
The $183 million deal, which is a two-year agreement effective July 1, was reached at 5:30 a.m., according to a statement from the district. Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, educators will receive raises and fully funded health care, some of the biggest sticking points at the bargaining table.
UESF officials told reporters that they felt happy with the deal, and a post on the union’s Facebook page announced, «We Won!»
