LAUSD Contract Negotiations
Fighting For Clean, Safe and Supportive Schools for All
We believe excellent public schools are equitable schools where all students have access to a quality education no matter where they live, where they come from, the color of their skin or their abilities. To achieve this, we are fighting for:
Improved School Cleanliness, Healthy and Safety
What We Want
- Sufficient staff and dedicated funding to ensure all schools are cleaned and sanitized to the same high standards
- More food service workers to ensure all students receive healthy meals without delays
- Ensuring there are aides on every school bus, particularly to assist and ensure the safety of special needs students
Increased Academic Support for All Students and Families
What We Want
- Increased support to address learning loss and close achievement gaps, including increasing staffing levels of teacher assistants, special educations assistants, after school program workers and LAUSD-based Behavior Intervention Implementation (BII) providers
- Improved parent engagement programs, including full time positions for Community Representatives so they can fully address the wellness, mental health and other needs of students and parents
Equity for Essential School Workers
What We Want
- Equitable wage increases and health care benefits to retain and recruit skilled, experienced workers.
- More full-time jobs to meet the needs of our students. Students need full time services.
- An end to privatization of essential student services to ensure consistency, stability and safety for the entire school community
- Investment in an educational fund to support the promotion and advancement of dedicated school workers, including growing more teachers from our local communities
Let’s Move the Table!
TAKE ACTION!
A strong contract isn’t just won at the bargaining table. It takes all of us to win the big changes we need.
Together, we can ensure clean, safe and supportive schools for all. Stay tuned for opportunities to take action.
