Los Angeles Unified reached a tentative two-year contract with United Teachers Los Angeles. The agreement was announced on Sunday and raises pay for educators.
Key terms of the deal
The contract raises salary scales by 11.65 percent. It also sets the starting teacher salary at $77,000 a year.
The two-year pact addresses priorities identified by UTLA members. Union leaders credited collective pressure for securing new funding.
Who remains in negotiations
The tentative agreement reduces the immediate threat of a teachers strike. Other labor groups could still disrupt operations.
- SEIU Local 99 continues mediation talks. It represents about 30,000 workers.
- Members include custodians, bus drivers and other school employees.
- The Associated Administrators of Los Angeles is also signaling possible job actions.
Risk to school operations
District officials said talks will continue over the weekend. Their aim is to keep schools open for students.
A deadline for further action is Tuesday, April 14. Negotiators are working to avoid wider walkouts.
Reactions and next steps
UTLA framed the outcome as a win stemming from member mobilization. They pointed to contractual gains tied to the “Win Our Future” demands.
LAUSD leaders called for ongoing discussions with other unions. They stressed the importance of reaching agreements before the deadline.
