Kids missed a few days of instruction in last month's SFUSD teachers’ strike, but they’re going to make it up, because the school district submitted plans to extend the school year to June 10 instead of June 3.

The SF Unified School District [SFUSD] schoolkids weren’t particularly mad when last month’s SFUSD teachers’ strike ended after four days. Because the kids still got three more days off afterward. But they're still going to have to make up those days, and make them up they will.

Mission Local reports that the district and the teachers’ union are submitting a plan to add five more days to the current school year to offset the strike.The last day of school would no longer be on June 3, it would now be on June 10.

Mission Local also adds that “high school finals week and graduation would be unaffected.” It’s not clear how that would work. But maybe they’re just going to say heck with it, and let the seniors enjoy their senior-itis.

But the five days added on are crucial for paraprofessionals (teachers’ assistants) and technical staff. Those staff are paid by the hour, so they did not get paid during the strike, whereas the salaried teachers did. This allows the technical staffers to regain that week of lost pay.

The proposal has not yet been adopted, and the SFUSD school board will consider the proposal on March 24.
