The City of San Francisco will pay $60 million annually as part of a new initiative into early education programs.
People who run these early education programs, both private and public say it’s extremely difficult recruiting, hiring, and retaining preschool teachers. They believe this boost is much needed for more than just the teachers.Nesanna Lee works full-time as a preschool teacher. She’s been doing this for more than 30 years.
Lee rides a bus every day and saves what she can. A typical starting-level position here currently pays $18 an hour. The pay raise initiative would bump each educator’s salary by approximately $8,000 to $30,000 annually.Jerry Yang runs the Kai-Ming Head Start programs, serving low-income families. We asked if Yang has seen many good teachers leave.
“This is about creating more economic opportunities, especially for women of color who make up the majority of this workforce,” said Ingrid Mezquita of the SF Office of Early Care and Education. “It also creates this pathway for people who are interested in coming into early care and education were before the wages would just be too low,” said Mezquita.
