Teachers union members will not show up for an optional day of extra classes the LAUSD scheduled later this fall, union leadership announced in a statement Friday.
But LAUSD board members also voted to set aside $122 million to compensate teachers who did come to school. They hoped these educators would provide additional help to students in need of “intensive intervention,” according to a statement from LAUSD spokesperson Shannon Haber.
In a recent bargaining session, one teacher shared that at her school, “the principal was talking about showing movies because they don’t know what’s happening,” Inouye said. Inouye called for LAUSD to divert the remaining funds into its ongoing contract talks. The union has called for “smaller class sizes and increased salaries for teachers to ensure long term retention of quality educators,” as well as investments in special education, enrichment programs and commitments to hire more nurses, librarians and counselors.The union and district are scheduled to meet again for further talks after Labor Day, Haber’s statement said.
