Board adopts tentative agreement with Local 21, district cites retroactive and ongoing costs
Summary
The board adopted a tentative labor agreement with IFPTE/Local 21, with staff estimating roughly $2 million in retroactive pay and a prospective annual budget impact of about $700,000–$800,000; board signaled commitment to continue bargaining in good faith.
The San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education conducted a public hearing and adopted a tentative agreement with IFPTE Local 21 related to compensation and benefits for represented staff.
Tom Luis in labor relations summarized the agreement and the related public disclosure document, saying the district was "quite pleased that we've been able to reach an agreement" that provides equitable retroactive compensation increases. Staff estimated a retroactive payroll cost of approximately $2,000,000 and said the prospective annual cost embedded in salary increases would be in the $700,000–$800,000 range once retirement pick-up and other adjustments were accounted for.
Board members praised staff for reaching an agreement after a lengthy period and noted the board had set aside funds for the expense. Commissioner Wins thanked staff and both sides for the agreement; Commissioner Yee and others asked for clarification about the annual cost impact and staff confirmed prospective budget effects would be absorbed through salary percent increases and retirement pickups.
The board approved the tentative agreement by recorded roll call (six ayes). Staff said it will continue bargaining in good faith under relevant state labor law and that full details are available in the public disclosure document provided with the agenda.
Implementation: the labor-relations office will work with finance to incorporate the budgetary changes and execute the agreement per the terms disclosed to the board.
