LAUSD’s teachers union says Superintendent Carvalho has “thrown gasoline on a fire” by changing school vacation dates.
, but conflict with labor leaders was reignited this week when the school board unanimously approved new school day calendars without engaging in labor negotiations.
The biggest change in the calendars is the board’s decision to shorten the students’ winter break from three weeks to two, to help low-income families who lack childcare options during LAUSD’s unusually long winter break. At the same time, the board extended summer vacation by a week. “UTLA is angry and dismayed, but unfortunately not surprised, that LAUSD has chosen this crucial moment in our bargaining process to violate state law by bypassing negotiations and unilaterally changing the UTLA work calendar,” wrote UTLA leaders in a March 30 letter to Superintendent Alberto Carvalho. “You, the ostensible leader of LAUSD, have essentially thrown gasoline on a fire.”
“The development and approval of the instructional calendar is at the sole discretion of the superintendent and the Board of Education,” said a district spokesperson. “The district has been, and continues to be, available to bargain the effects of the amended calendar with UTLA, and recently offered an additional meeting to bargain the effects of the amended calendar, but UTLA did not respond to the invitation.
