My son had such a great teacher leave last year because she couldnt afford rent anymore. It really hurts the kids when we lose the good ones. Fix this now.

As a career teacher in SFUSD and a lifetime resident of San Francisco, I know how hard it can be to secure decent housing. I spent my first 20 years as a young adult renting and ultimately was forced out of my rental house while teaching and raising 3 children. It became immediately apparent that I could not continue renting in San Francisco and, ironically, I was forced to buy a house in the City. Yes, it is cheaper to own than to rent in San Francisco. That is not to say that our financial problems are solved by any means. The cost of living in San Francisco is prohibitive to the majority of teachers here.

Thank you to Ms Rickey's class and Hoover!!!! I support raising SF teachers, paras and school support staff pay. Eric Mar From: nianna sarmiento [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2016 11:33 AM To: Mar, Eric (BOS) Subject: Petition for Teachers Pay Dear Eric Mar, Hello, we are Ms. Rickey's 8th grade Social Studies class at Herbert Hoover Middle School. We are working with a non-profit organization called Generation Citizen, trying to get students involved in civics. Our focus issue is raising teachers pay, so that they are able to afford a decent place to live and can focus on teaching. We have collected signatures for a petition addressing the matter of higher teacher pay in San Francisco. This issue is important to us because good teachers are being pushed out of the city. And our future depends on having a good education. Will you please sign and share our petition so that we can go through with our issue. The link to our petition is here :http://l.instagram.com/?e=ATP3g9RAVOMS-RRfkV4BxWXn0WNUhR__sZ4ymgNpRWyUbuoQnGREcqx8ATbAiw&u=http%3A%2F%2FWww.ipetitions.com%2Fpetition%2Fincreasing-teachers-wages-in-san-francisco Sincerely, Ms. Rickey's 8th grade Social Studies class
