Maria Su

Dr. Maria Su is associated with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). She is newsworthy due to the recent teachers' strike in San Francisco, the first in nearly 50 years. The strike, involving thousands of teachers, stemmed from disagreements between the teachers' union and the district over wages, health benefits, and resources for special needs students. As a representative of the SFUSD, Dr. Su likely played a role in the negotiations with the teachers' union. The strike led to the closure of all 120 schools in the district. A tentative agreement has now been reached, ending the strike. Schools are set to reopen to staff immediately and to students after two holidays. Dr. Su's role is significant as the SFUSD navigates the aftermath of the strike and works to implement the terms of the new agreement.
