On the morning of Thursday, Feb. 5, SFUSD received notice from United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) about their intent to strike on Monday, Feb. 9. Our priority is to avoid a strike and reach an agreement with our labor partners. Schools will remain open on Feb. 5 and Feb. 6.

Only the Superintendent, with authorization from the Board of Education, can close schools. Closing schools is a last resort but may be necessary if the district cannot safely operate schools during a strike. SFUSD will notify families and staff on whether or not schools will remain open during a strike as soon as the determination has been made by the superintendent.
