LA Unified School District announced today that it’s reached a salary agreement with the teachers union (UTLA), which came after a state-appointed fact finder recommended a 6 percent raise. But when we reached out to the union directly, they told us no agreement was made, and there are other major disagreements between the district and the union on class size, standardized testing, and staffing. So teachers could still strike next month.
