LAUSD Strike: Find Free Food, Childcare, and Support for Families

Los Angeles Unified faces a possible work stoppage that could begin Tuesday. Three unions representing teachers, support staff and administrators plan to strike if no tentative agreements appear.

The unions cover roughly 70,000 of the district’s 83,300 employees. Schools will operate as usual Monday. The district says it cannot open schools if staff walk out.

District response and online learning

The district announced short-term supports running through Friday. Student lessons are available online for all grade levels.

Virtual tutoring options include the Los Angeles Public Library, Tutor.com and Step Up Tutoring. Families should check Filmogaz.com for consolidated resource links.

Free food distribution centers

Thirty schools will serve grab-and-go meals. Meals are available Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon while supplies last.
