Announcement Message
Dear SFUSD Community,
All SFUSD schools will be closed to students on Monday, Feb. 9.
I recognize that this is very difficult news and am writing to provide additional information and resources to support your student’s continued learning during school closures.
How to Contact SFUSD for Support
SFUSD’s Student Family School Resource Link will continue to provide support for families and staff this week. Email requests to sflink@sfusd.edu, call 415-340-1716 (9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Mondays - Fridays), or complete an online request form.
Independent Study
Paper copies of Independent Study learning packets are currently being delivered to some community centers, libraries and school sites. We will post the most up to date list of sites and addresses on the district website. Of course, you have digital access to all Independent Study resources 24/7 through the district website. If you are unable to access online, pick up from a site, or if for some reason a site has run out of the grade level/s needed, you may also contact the Student Family School Resource Link to request a packet be delivered to you.
Food Distribution Resources
Our partners with DCYF have created a list of food distribution sites throughout the City for children 18 and under. Here’s a map that shows where these sites are located. SF Marin Food Bank has updated their “Find Food” website with additional locations.
ExCEL Off-Site Programs
Some Community Based Organizations that normally operate after school programs at SFUSD schools are offering student programs at off-site locations, including enrichment, homework support, recreation and meals. Access is limited and spaces will be prioritized for TK-6th grade students who meet certain criteria. Please read carefully to determine if your children are eligible. Please contact the Community Based Organization directly, to determine if there is capacity to support your student.
DCYF-Funded / SFUSD-Vetted Student Resource Sites
Some Community Based Organizations that operate after-school youth programs will offer daytime activities for SFUSD students. Please note, each Community Based Organization has an extremely limited number of spaces due to staff and facility capacity. Please contact the Community Based Organization directly, in order to determine if there is capacity to support your student.
All SFUSD Offices Closed to Staff and Public on Monday, Feb. 9
While schools are closed, SFUSD offices (including 555 Franklin Street and 135 Van Ness Avenue) will be closed to both staff and the public. Any appointments with Human Resources, Benefits, Payroll, Accounting, etc, will be rescheduled for when the buildings reopen.
Enrollment Center Closed to In Person Visits on Monday, Feb. 9
The Enrollment Center is closed to in-person visits while schools are closed, but they are available by phone (415-241-6085) and email (enrollinschool@sfusd.edu), Monday - Friday, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, and 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm. The Enrollment Center office and phone are closed for lunch from 12:00 - 1:00 PM daily.
Negotiations Updates (Video Message from Dr. Su)
We remain committed to negotiating with our labor partners. We will continue to pursue a win-win proposal that provides fiscal certainty for the district by matching spending to available resources, while delivering compensation directly to educators. Our current proposal reflects the needs of all educators and keeps the district on a clear runway to exit state oversight. It is responsive to United Educators of San Francisco’s stated priorities, authorized by the Board of Education, and aligned with the findings of the recent neutral fact-finding report.
Our district bargaining team and I met with UESF on Saturday to try to reach an agreement. UESF provided a counter-proposal at the session, and SFUSD offered a comprehensive package as a response. The package included provisions that met UESF’s request for a two-year term and included a salary increase that is equivalent to 6% over two years and a health benefits allowance of $24,000/year. This recommendation is sustained by the neutral third-party fact-finding report.
The district proposed to implement UESF’s proposal of a workload model for special education as a pilot program at five school sites through June 30, 2028. Additionally, the district accepted UESF’s proposal on housing, sanctuary policies and regulation of artificial intelligence.
SFUSD and UESF came to a tentative agreement on sanctuary policy. While this represents considerable progress, UESF ended negotiations Saturday at 9:45 pm.
UESF has agreed to return to the bargaining table at noon on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026. We will continue to work to reach a deal.
Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to keep you informed.
Sincerely,
Dr. Maria Su
San Francisco Unified School District
