Nearly 1,400 San Francisco Unified School District employees are eligible for voluntary buyouts the school board approved this week in an effort to stave off the bankruptcy — and subsequent state takeover — of The City’s public-school system.
The San Francisco Board of Education on Tuesday approved a benefits package aimed to incentivize early retirement for employees 55 and older who have worked for at least five consecutive years in the district.
In total, 1,372 employees are eligible for early retirement, according to a district presentation. SFUSD had 8,643 total employees in the 2023-24 school year, according to the district, leaving around 17% of the public-school system’s workforce eligible.
