Days before a set strike, the Sacramento City School District and the union representing the school workers have reached a tentative agreement on how to continue with reopening procedures. A marathon mediation session between Sacramento City Unified School District and classified workers represented by SEIU 1021 produced a tentative agreement that both sides believe will allow SCUSD to safely welcome all students back to in-person learning.
