The district consists that teachers will see an 18. 5 increase for salaris and benefits over the next three years and also acknowledge this means 8. 5 , but the department of labor states that the Consumer Price index that measures prices in the greater sf area has grown 3 which means that the wage proposed by the district wouldnt keep up with the district. 8. 5 is just 2. 8 per year, leaving teachers 2. 2 poorer than when they started. Teachers have not had a pay scale increase in five years and the market rate for onebedroom apartment in San Francisco requires 62,000 salary. Per sfusds own published pay scale a teacher will earn that in his or her tenth year, but only ensuring that we are enrolled in continuing education and earning 60 units.
