Teachers get a 10 percent retroactive raise, and 5 percent for the coming year. The district projects a $128.9 million shortfall for 2024-2025 but expects to balance the budget by then.
The San Diego Unified School Board signed off on $517 million of pay and benefit raises for employees over three years as it aims to remain competitive in a chronic school labor shortage.with the district teachers union providing a 10 percent raise retroactive to July 1, 2022, and a 5 percent raise for the upcoming school year. The agreement triggered identical raises for employees in all other bargaining units, such as principals, bus drivers and central office staff.
It will start to increase weekly arts and enrichment time for students — which also doubles as prep time for teachers — from about an hour to 90 minutes by 2024, said Kyle Weinberg, president of the San Diego teachers union. The new agreement falls short of one key demand that the teachers union had this year: staffing every elementary school with a full-time counselor.
Now about three dozen elementary schools will have a full-time counselor, according to enrollment figures; under the previous union contract, no elementary school had enough students to qualify for a full-time one. “We just don’t have the revenue,” said Superintendent Lamont Jackson last week, citing under-funding of federal dollars for low-income students and students with disabilities.
