Last-Minute Pact Keeps Los Angeles Classrooms Open
TL;DR
A last-minute agreement averted a district-wide strike in Los Angeles Unified after Local 99 reached a contract for about 30,000 support staff, with separate deals for teachers and administrators following. The settlements include an average 24% raise for support staff over two years, about 14% for teachers, and over 11% for administrators, plus expanded hours to meet health-insurance thresholds, brokered in part by Mayor Karen Bass. The move preserves classes for roughly 400,000 students across LA’s schools.
