LAUSD Reaches Tentative Labor Deal with Teachers Amid Ongoing Negotiations
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has reached a tentative two-year labor agreement with the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA). Despite this progress, schools may still face closures as teachers plan to honor picket lines in solidarity with SEIU Local 99, which represents other school staff and is still negotiating with the district. The tentative agreement includes a salary increase, improved parental leave, and expanded mental health support for students. However, the district is also negotiating with the union representing principals and administrators, with a deadline set for April 14 to avoid a potential strike that could disrupt education for 400,000 students.
