Board ratifies MOUs with unions and adds Ramaytush Ohlone leader to school-renaming panel
Summary
Trustees ratified several memoranda of understanding with SEIU Local 1021 and United Administrators addressing sick leave, PPE and stipends during shelter-in-place; the board also ratified adding Greg Castro of the Ramaytush Ohlone to a renaming advisory panel.
The Board of Education unanimously ratified several labor agreements and an advisory appointment during its July 28 meeting.
Labor agreements: The board approved side letters with Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021 covering sick leave and stipends for staff affected by city shelter-in-place orders, a separate SEIU side letter addressing PPE arrangements, and an SEIU-related side letter on orientation and communications during shelter-in-place. The board also ratified a side letter with United Administrators of San Francisco extending stipends and sick-leave protections for extended-school-year and summer childcare programs. Roll-call votes on those items recorded unanimous "7 ayes" outcomes in the transcript.
Renaming panel appointment: The board ratified adding Greg Castro, identified in the meeting as a leader of the Ramaytush Ohlone people, to the blue-ribbon panel advising the superintendent on potential school renamings. A public commenter asked that Balboa High School be considered for renaming alongside other figures and colonial-era names that have been the subject of community petitions.
What this means: The union side letters provide temporary health-and-pay protections tied to shelter-in-place conditions and clarify PPE responsibilities during the pandemic; the renaming panel addition brings an Indigenous community representative into the advisory process.
Speakers and votes are recorded in the official transcript.
