Latest Update: November 20, 2025
After the powerful November 6 regional rallies, LAUSD had canceled Monday’s bargaining session and held a special school board meeting to discuss our contract negotiations. Tonight they came with 15 proposals including a modest increase in Community School funding, a proposal to reduce class sizes in 11th and 12th grades, and class size reductions for IDM and Modified Core Curriculum classes that show movement, but still do not meet the needs of Special Education students and educators.
After nine months at the table, the district is only just now starting to engage on some of the proposals that address issues most widely and deeply felt by UTLA educators. But the district’s proposals tonight still fall far short of what we need to make real progress in negotiations
