Paraeducators, unions press board to fix payroll and staffing breakdowns
Summary
Paraeducators and union leaders described months of payroll and human resources errors that left employees unpaid or with incorrect accruals; union representatives urged better systems, timely communication and restored staffing investments to support students and retain staff.
Paraeducators, union leaders and district staff used public comment to spotlight lingering payroll, HR and staffing problems. Carolina Mason, a paraeducator, said recent pay stubs were missing pay for the last five days of school; SEIU and UESF leaders pressed the district to fix systemic issues and invest in infrastructure so payroll and benefits are handled reliably.
Tianna Tillery, vice president of United Educators of San Francisco, thanked staff for recent fixes — including resolution of a delayed summer assistance payout — but pressed for a structural approach: "Patience doesn't erase harm," she said, arguing that employees had repeatedly been asked to be patient while errors persisted and that the district must build systems that prevent recurrent failures. Union speakers also called for restoring professional development and other supports that were at risk earlier in the fiscal recovery process.
