Members of the United Educators of San Francisco rallied outside the city’s school district headquarters to fight for a bigger budget as they say more money would attract and retain instructors.
In De Kalb, Texas, to compete with larger school systems that can afford to pay more, they’re offering a four-day workweek to retain teachers.
“One day a week doesn't sound like that big of a deal. But it sure seems like it to me,” said teacher Laura Hunt.At Tuesday’s San Francisco School Board meeting, teachers were acknowledged by the school district superintendent. “What we recognize is that we make sure we are prioritizing our investment in compensation for our staff so we can be able to recruit and retain,” said Dr. Matt Wayne.
The high cost of living in San Francisco is a big part of the problem. Average starting salary is between 43 and 65,000 a year depending on training and experience.
