TL;DR Summary
LAUSD faces a coordinated strike by UTLA, SEIU Local 99, and AALA with about 70,000 employees set to walk out, potentially shutting down classes for around 520,000 students. The unions demand roughly a 17% pay raise over two years and staffing improvements, while the district emphasizes its offers and financial constraints; an April 14 deadline looms as talks continue, with contingency plans like food distribution, take-home instruction, and childcare in place if the strike proceeds.
