Overview

• SFUSD canceled layoff notices for 34 counselors and 117 paraeducators following collaboration with state officials and labor unions.
• The district received approval to hire 239 teachers for the 2025-26 school year, including 77 positions approved this week.
• State fiscal oversight was imposed last year after a $113 million deficit was projected, with veto power granted to fiscal advisers over spending decisions.
• Cost-saving measures, including early retirements by 378 employees and the layoff of 100 central office staff, have saved the district millions.
• Nine paraeducator positions remain cut, but SFUSD is negotiating alternatives with the teachers' union under the collective bargaining agreement.
