"Principals and administrators negotiating past the witching hour at the San Francisco Unified School District's downtown headquarters breathed a sigh of relief: At 12:33 a.m. Tuesday, they reached a tentative deal with the district. Following a marathon 16 hours of negotiating, SFUSD principals burdened by staff shortages and depressed resources walked away with a $7,500 bump for every United Administrators of San Francisco-covered worker, followed by a two-percent raise over each of the next three years ."
"Both the union and the district made their cases before a three-person "fact-finding" panel. Neutral panel member Donald Raczka, co-elected by SFUSD and the principals' union, purportedly surprised everyone by stating that he didn't feel like hearing both sides and then writing up a 30-page report. Rather, Klafter recalled him saying "I'm going to get you guys to reach a settlement." "I was like, 'No, you're not,'" Klafter recalled. "But he did.""
Principals and administrators at San Francisco Unified School District reached a tentative agreement at 12:33 a.m. after 16 hours of negotiating. The deal provides a $7,500 one-time increase for each United Administrators of San Francisco-covered worker and two percent raises annually for the next three years. A "me too" clause guarantees administrators receive raises when other district unions do. Planned walkouts and possible strikes were called off in favor of a celebratory event. Neutral panel member Donald Raczka actively pushed the parties toward settlement instead of producing a report. State fiscal monitor Elliot Duchon attended the negotiations.
