Overview
- The board approved Su’s contract late Tuesday, making her a district employee through the 2027–2028 school year.
- Contract terms set a $385,000 first-year salary with a possible 2% raise in the second year based on performance.
- Under Su’s first year of leadership, SFUSD cut about $114 million without teacher layoffs by using early retirements, a tighter staffing model and administrative reductions.
- District leaders cite declining enrollment and rising costs as ongoing pressures, keeping additional cuts, program changes and possible school closures on the table with a goal of restoring full local control.
- The teachers union opposed the multi-year appointment, while one small high school, The Academy, will close this spring with its City College program moving to Wallenberg High School.
