Teachers union and L.A. school district reach pact to save jobs
The Los Angeles Unified School District and the teachers union reached a tentative agreement Friday that would prevent thousands of layoffs in exchange for one year of pay reductions.
Under the accord, teachers would lose 10 days of pay and students would lose five days of their school year. The pact mirrors agreements reached by other employee unions.
The agreement must still by ratified by teachers and approved by the L.A. Board of Education.
“We are grateful to our labor partners for making this sacrifice on behalf of our youth,” said L.A. schools Supt.
