Latest Update: April 1, 2025
The 140-member UTLA Bargaining Team met with LAUSD tonight, April 1, over Zoom for the fifth bargaining session. For a significant portion of the session, UTLA asked why LAUSD objected to so many of UTLA’s reasonable proposals that are important to educators, such as district procedures for responding to school-based traumatic events. LAUSD presented five counterproposals, including reiterating bad proposals that would undermine chapter chairs’ ability to conduct union business.
Five sessions in, LAUSD still has not presented any substantive proposals on urgent issues deeply felt by educators and parents, like salary, workload, class size, staffing, immigration rights, and more. UTLA presented our full package of demands in Sessions 1 and 2.

The next bargaining session is scheduled for April 28, 2025.
