LAUSD and UTLA agree on 21% wage increase for teachers.
The Los Angeles school district and the teachers union have reached a tentative agreement that provides a 21% wage increase over about three years, raising the average teacher salary to $106,000 while averting the potential of a second strike this school year. Hard-to-staff positions such as nurses would see additional salary hikes. The deal prioritizes the district’s 100 most “fragile” schools for class-size reductions, using a designation based on low student achievement and other factors.
