San Francisco teachers go on strike for the first time in 50 years, closing schools
February 9, 2026


San Francisco teachers walked out on Monday, marking their first strike in nearly 50 years. The walkout follows a breakdown in talks over pay, health insurance, and support for students with special needs. With all 120 schools in the district closed, around 50,000 students were left to rely on independent study options. The union and the school district were set to head back to the bargaining table at noon on Monday.
