   The San Francisco teachers strike is over.   
      
   Union and district officials agreed to a $183 million deal early Friday,   
   increasing educators salaries and health care benefits in a two-year   
   contract that required compromise from each side and could mean imminent   
   pink slips and additional budget cuts in the upcoming year.   
      
   The tentative agreement will give teachers the equivalent of a 6% raise   
   over two years — including a 2% raise this year and next, with the   
   equivalent of another 1% raise each year based on two days added to   
   their annual work calendar for training, including how to address   
   federal immigration enforcement, union and district officials announced.   
      
   The deal also includes fully-funded family health care with Kaiser   
   starting on Jan. 1, 2027, with the district covering 50% of costs   
   starting on July 1, 2026, with the union agreeing to pause paid   
   sabbatical leave to help cover the initial costs. This is the first time   
   in the district’s history that it has fully covered families, Su said.   
      
   “This historic strike built an unbreakable solidarity across our city,   
   among families, students, educators and community,” union officials said   
   in an email sent to members just before 6 a.m. “This strike has made it   
   clear what is possible when we join together and fight for the stability   
   in our schools that many have said was out of our reach.”   
      
   Other district employees, however, were not eligible for the full family   
   health coverage. Most currently have the same rate as educators, which   
   is about $1,500 per month.
