Ratification votes are scheduled next week for a tentative agreement that would allow the Los Angeles Unified School District to add three instructional days to its calendar each of the next two school years.
The tentative agreement with the district's two largest unions announced Friday also continues the district's three-week winter break for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years. There will be a voluntary three-day Winter Recess Academy during the first week of winter break to provide targeted instruction and enrichment, meals and supervision for students.
Winter break will begin on Dec. 18, with the Winter Recess Academy taking place from Dec. 18-20. Classes will resume Jan. 8. The last day of school will be June 11, 2024. Teachers will have the option of choosing to work one extra day at the beginning of the year to set up and one extra day at the end of the year to put things away and would be paid for those days, according to UTLA.
"While UTLA and SEIU 99 remain confident we would prevail in PERB hearings on all of the charges, it is in the interest of both UTLA and SEIU 99 members to try to reach an agreement on all of the issues within this school year -- especially since a victory at PERB would have only resulted in LAUSD being ordered to negotiate, by which point the 2023-2024 school year would have already started," according to a statement from UTLA.
