- The UTLA pact raises average teacher pay 13.86% with at least an 8% bump, adds paid parental leave, and creates roughly 450 new counselor, psychologist, and mental health roles.
- Teacher terms also include first-time special education class-size protections, limits on use of artificial intelligence, and faster access to health coverage for substitutes after 93 days worked.
- Administrators won 12.15% in raises over two years with a defined eight-hour day, a 40-hour week, flex time by notice, and a $5,000 yearly stipend for principals at priority or large single-admin schools.
- Next steps include an LAUSD board vote and a separate SEIU Local 99 member vote now underway through early May, with the SEIU tentative deal offering a 24% raise and broader health coverage, while the UTLA contract runs through June 30, 2027.
