San Francisco Unified School District officials said Friday that they have discovered about 350 teachers in the district who do not have active teaching credentials.
The district said the discovery of the uncredentialed teachers was 'a symptom of the ongoing challenges' related to the payroll system EMPowerSF implemented in 2022 that has been riddled with problems since then, with many teachers and district employees reporting receiving inaccurate paychecks or nothing at all.SFUSD is moving to a new system to replace EMPowerSF and reviewed over 7,000 credentials issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
The June 2023 report titled 'Not Making the Grade: San Francisco's Shortage of Credentialed Teachers' said that recruitment and retention of credentialed teachers may be harmed by starting salaries the civil grand jury found were lower than most in the Bay Area as well as the payroll system problems that led to a 'sleep-in' by educators at district offices.
