If we wanted to search all of the pertinent and relevant details to the story, there’d be no point to reading the story…or writing it. 76K starting? It’s entry level. Just like a lot of other jobs. Roommates are a thing for folks just starting out.

I hope the good teachers get what they deserve. And yet, we have to admit there are bad teachers. They don’t deserve the raise. Someone I know who is a teacher posted that she hated field trips, showed off her newly bought Chanel bag and Tesla. I know how she spent her money is a personal choice but as a parent, I don’t think she loves her students or her jobs.

That’s all public knowledge. Also, $76,000 is not a livable wage in SF. Teachers should be able to live comfortably in the city- afford a one bedroom apt, food, entertainment, etc. Teachers deserve retirement for their years service.

Joe,
How much do teachers at each experience-level currently make? What are their current benefits and how much is that worth? What kind of ongoing retirement benefits do they get after they no longer do any work?

From the district’s press release, it sounds like brand new teachers will start at around $76,000/year salary and inflate from there. Is that correct? Please provide the public with full disclosure and real numbers and instead just vague percentages relative to some undisclosed amount. Thank you!

Thanks for the great reporting Joe! The district’s “historic” offer also requires the union to drop all other negotiations, including those that have no financial impact. This, after 3 years of no raises and huge numbers of folks leaving or not taking jobs with SFUSD because they can’t figure out the basic task if paying their employees. Enough is enough.
