The United Educators of San Francisco went on strike before school began. This marks the first strike of San Francisco educators since 1979.
The district said that SFUSD and United Educators of San Francisco had been negotiating an agreement since March 2025. SFUSD is "grappling with a dire fiscal reality," the district said.
The district's panel recommended a 3% wage increase effective July 1, 2025, followed by an additional 3% increase on July 1, 2026.
"We are incredibly disappointed in the district's continued lack of urgency here," Curiel said. "All week, we have been bombarded with the message that the district was prepared to come to the table and give us a serious proposal."
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie had promised last week that the city's departments would offer free meals and some extended child care services in the event of closings.
