LAUSD approves 21% salary hike for teachers, but the long-term viability of the district’s finances is less certain.
The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education on Tuesday, May 9, gave final approval to a new labor agreement with the union representing its teachers.
On Tuesday, the LAUSD Board of Education gave its support to the agreement, along with a new contract for administrative workers represented by Associated Administrators of Los Angeles. In a statement, the district said the agreements continue “the district’s commitment to historic pay increases, investing in the workforce, addressing decades of pay inequity exacerbated by historic inflation, while ensuring the district remains financially solid.
It also includes an additional $20,000 increase for nurses; $3,000 for psychologists, psychiatric social workers, counselors and other “special services” providers; $2,500 for special education teachers; and $1,500 for early education teachers.
