Board approves tentative Prop A spending and tentative agreements with UESF

The board authorized tentative agreements with United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) that allocate additional unallocated revenue from Proposition A toward compensation, retention incentives for hard‑to‑staff subjects and schools, enhanced substitute benefits and professional development days.

Tom Ruiz and other staff summarized the memorandum of understanding, saying the supplemental, unanticipated Prop A funds created an opportunity to extend professional development, target resources to previously under‑served groups and build a compensation schedule that includes retention and hard‑to‑fill incentives. UESF President Dennis Kelly addressed the board in support, calling the agreements ‘‘tremendously significant’’ and praising the district–union cooperation to direct unallocated Prop A dollars to groups left out of the original parcel tax allocations.

The board conducted a public hearing on the MOU as required and approved the tentative agreements and the related public‑hearing resolution by roll call vote.

What it means: The action channels additional local parcel tax revenue to personnel and program supports the board and union negotiated, and it establishes a short‑term spending plan and oversight process to implement the Prop A priorities.
