LAUSD stares down historic walkout as negotiations continue

Los Angeles’ public schools could be closed beginning Tuesday morning if three school district unions go on strike. The three major unions represent teachers, most non-teaching staff and school administrators. In a solidarity pact, they agreed to honor the picket line of any union that had not reached a tentative agreement ahead of Tuesday, April 14.

Two of the three unions — United Teachers Los Angeles and Associated Administrators of Los Angeles/Teamsters 2010, which represents principals and assistant principals — reached deals with the district over the weekend.

But Monday evening, marathon negotiations had not yet achieved a deal with Local 99 of Service Employees International Union, which represents about 30,000 teacher aides, campus aides, gardeners, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and tech support staff.
Across the nation’s second-largest school district, families were preparing for a disruption to the delicate balance of work, school and family schedules.
