SFUSD teachers slept inside the district’s offices Monday night to protest the fact that hundreds have not been paid or received partial payment since January.
The educators have said because of the payment issue, they’ve been unable to pay rent, medical bills, and other necessities. Teacher and UESF member Frank Lara, one of the 20 who spent the night inside the offices, acknowledged Matthews’ dedication to fixing the issue, but said, SFUSD officials have admitted that hundreds of teachers and other staff members have not gotten paid since January but attributed the error to a recent change by the district to a new payroll system. Previously, the district had used the same system for the last 17 years.
