Negotiations went later than they have typically been going on Wednesday night as a deal between the SF Unified School District and the teachers' union remains elusive. Around 50,000 schoolkids remain at home or in daycare Thursday for the fourth day in a row, as this historic San Francisco teachers' strike drags on. SF Mayor Daniel Lurie joined the negotiators for the first time Tuesday evening, as Mission Local reports, and left after two hours posting this update to Instagram.
San Francisco public school teachers are making national headlines as they head into day three of a historic strike, with talks between union and district representatives slowly progressing and other districts across the state considering similar action. As SFist reported Tuesday, classes have been cancelled Wednesday at San Francisco Unified School District as contract negotiations continued into Tuesday evening. SFist took part in Tuesday's march, which began at Dolores Park and ended at City Hall by way of SFUSD's headquarters on Franklin Street.
