Community advocates fought to secure voter‑approved dollars that fund enrichment across our schools. Before changing the Charter, Dr. Vanessa Marrero argues we must stabilize SFUSD with multi‑year fiscal plans, reserve requirements, and protections for those funds. Read: bit.ly/StabilizingO...

Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco has support our educators for 26 years and we demand that our teachers get what they need to do take care of our children. Please look at the petition for more information: actionnetwork.org/letters/san-...

#9 ” Text Panel concluded recommendations are fair and consistent with Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA); neutral chair signed Feb 4, 2026; union representative noted partial concurrence. Proof of service recorded Feb 3, 2026" Right picture of two people with Parents for Public Schools shirts sitting at a table.

#8 Additional Information.” Text states that UESF has a strike vote and that the panel urges a financially realistic compromise to preserve community interests and the labor-management relationship. A photo on the right shows a young child sitting on playground steps, wearing a unicorn hat and a blue shirt that reads “Parents for Public Schools,” with a backpack at their feet.

#7 Key Panel Recommendations.” Text explains that for sanctuary and community supports, it is not appropriate to include UESF’s full proposal in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Instead, it recommends a joint non-contract resolution expressing shared commitment to support immigrant and unhoused students. A photo on the right shows several adults and children standing at an information table with papers and supplies inside a school or community space.

#6 Key Panel Recommendations.” Center text summarizes special-education recommendation: launch a pilot workload program (3 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high school) to design and evaluate a workload model before wider rollout; maintain status quo now for AI working group, health & safety reporting, class-size goals vs. limits, and equitable staffing; recommend the District reduce contracting out and reallocate consultant funds to staffing and supports. Right: scalloped photo of a woman seated at a panel table speaking, with a nameplate and water bottle visible.

#5 Key Panel Recommendations.” Left text: “Dependent health benefits: Full Kaiser-dependent coverage not feasible now; recommend using existing QETA parcel tax as temporary funding (approx. 3 years) while exploring longer-term solutions.” Right: scalloped photo of a meeting room with people seated and a woman standing, speaking to the group.

#4 Key Panel Recommendations.” Left text summarizes salary recommendation: a two‑year contract with 3% increases effective July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2026 — a conservative approach likely to pass State scrutiny and help keep pace with COLA/CPI. Right: scalloped photo of a smiling person wearing large novelty “LUCKY” sunglasses and a black top at an out

#3 Panel Findings.” Right: summary text saying evidence did not rebut the District’s financial limits; many UESF non‑wage demands are cost‑prohibitive or non‑mandatory; comparative data conflicted; class‑size caps and full shift to workload‑based special ed would have large budget impacts. Left: scalloped photo of three adults posing in a kitchen or cafeteria, one wearing a yellow skirt and “Parents for Public Schools” shirt.

#2 Financial context.” Right: text summarizing positions — UESF says salaries lag COLA/LCFF and seeks larger raises, fully paid Kaiser dependent coverage, workload-based special‑ed staffing changes, and reduced contracting out. District says declining enrollment/ADA, reduced revenues, negative/qualified financial certification, and limited nonrestricted funds make large increases unsustainable. Left: scalloped photo of a child wearing a white animal mask and denim jacket at an outdoor event.

#1 Background.” Left: block of summary text about UESF vs SFUSD negotiations (Mar–Oct 2025), impasse Oct 10, 2025, factfinding Jan 23, 2026, members without contract since July 1, 2025, and list of unresolved topics (pay, dependent health, special ed workload, sanctuary protections, contracting out, AI, health & safety, class size, equitable staffing). Right: scalloped photo of a person sitting outdoors on a basketball, filling a clipboard, wearing a “Parents for Public Schools” T‑shirt.

Red infographic listing 3 bullets: “3% raises (2025 & 2026)”, “Special-ed workload pilot”, “Temporary dependent health via parcel tax.” Simple icons: money, school, heart/health.

Factfinding recommends a balanced path:
• 3% salary increases (2025 & 2026) 💵
• Pilot to shift special-ed to a workload model 🧑‍⚕️🧑‍🏫
• Temporary dependent health via parcel tax 🏷️
• Reallocate consultant funds to staff 👥

Collage of parents, children, and community members at school and advocacy events. Overlaid text reads: “Bridge Parents — 820,000 served. Demystify Policy — 26 year-old. Amplify Voices — State-wide impact. Defend Our Schools.” Logos for Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco appear at the top in English, Spanish, and Chinese. The images show families smiling, holding certificates, sharing information tables, and participating in public school events.

Parents of Public Schools will not watch our kids lose teachers. Vacancies and turnover hurt learning, especially in Special Ed. We demand stability now: family healthcare, fair wages, better SpEd conditions & protect housing-insecure families.
