The first optional learning day for teachers and students is scheduled for Oct. 19.
The union statement said that “93% of UTLA educators” had voted in favor of a boycott, but did not specify what percentage of union members had participated in the vote. The union represents more than 30,000 teachers, counselors, librarians and nurses.The union release referred to the learning days as a"$122 Million Stunt” by the L.A. Unified School District that “prioritizes optics over student needs.
The district has asserted that the days are not arbitrarily scheduled, but inserted at key — and available — points in the academic calendar. L.A. Unified also challenged the union’s math, stating that the $122 million included $52 million to pay employees to attend the three optional professional training days held on Aug. 9, 10 and 11.
