“We need to recognize that our salaries have not kept up with others in the Bay Area.' Hundreds of San Francisco educators rallied Tuesday to protest the district’s handling of its faulty payroll system, staffing shortages and low wages.
Hundreds of the United Educators of San Francisco union members rallied Tuesday ahead of a Board of Education meeting to protest the district’s handling of its faulty EMpower payroll system, staffing shortages and low wages.
The lawsuit that could change California math education A court decision in Palo Alto could affect public school math curriculum in San Francisco and beyond “They are essential members of our school sites, they develop connections with our students that the teachers cannot do — they need to be paid adequately to survive in this city,” she said.Union President Cassondra Curiel
In addition to pay increases, the union is demanding the district address its teacher and staff vacancies. Teacher shortages are a national problem that existed well before the pandemic. A 2018 report from the Learning Policy Institute found more than “100,000 teachers in the U.S. are not fully qualified to teach, with the greatest number of vacancies in math, science and special education in nearly every state.
The district had 30 days to respond. Marina Middle School principals and staff held a town hall on Feb. 15 where Assistant Superintendent Han Phung addressed the Williams complaint. The year-long payroll issue has grabbed the attention of city politicians. District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston attended the rally and told the crowd, “It is apparently not enough that educators and school staff wake up at the crack of dawn, that they work through a pandemic, that are underpaid, that they don’t even get wages — what the hell is going on?”
