But the district said it\u2019s waiting on that call to come from the union: \u201cAt 1:33 a.m., SFUSD passed our latest counter offer to UESF outlining our latest proposal for wages, health care and special education. The UESF team has not yet responded,\u201d it said in a statement via email.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SFUSD bargaining team, comprised of veteran and expert professionals, are ready to meet with the union\u2019s bargaining team to continue negotiations,\u201d SFUSD said in a statement just before 9 a.m. \u201cSFUSD continues to work around the clock to come to an agreement that honors our educators and is also fiscally responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n

While negotiations appear to stall, it\u2019s also becoming increasingly likely that schools will remain shuttered<\/a> through mid-next week, after planned holidays Monday and Tuesday for President\u2019s Day and the Lunar New Year. As of 1:45 p.m., the district hasn\u2019t made a formal announcement about whether campuses will reopen on Friday.<\/p>\n

Union supporters returned to the picket lines on Thursday morning, and more than a thousand headed to a midday rally at Embarcadero Plaza. The War Memorial Building, meanwhile, which has been bustling with bargaining teams since the weekend, was unusually quiet.<\/p>\n

Throughout bargaining this week<\/a>, the parties have appeared to make some progress on wages: The union seemed amenable to the district\u2019s offer of a 10% raise over two years for paraeducators, though it has not agreed to the rate formally.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also slightly narrowed a wide gap in proposed raises for certificated staff, which include teachers, social workers and counselors. The union had originally asked for a 9% raise over two years, while the district offered a 6% raise over three. On Wednesday, the union proposed a 7% raise over two years, while the district offered 4%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But the district said it\u2019s waiting on that call to come from the union: \u201cAt 1:33 a.m., SFUSD…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-175765","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-san-francisco","9":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","10":"tag-san-francisco-news","11":"tag-sf","12":"tag-sf-headlines","13":"tag-sf-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
