The Los Angeles Unified School District has reached a tentative agreement with the Associated Administrators Los Angeles (AALA)/Teamsters 2010 union, which represents six administrative departments in the district. The agreement includes an 11.65% salary increase for represented workers over two years.

Why it matters

This tentative agreement with the administrators' union is a significant step forward in LAUSD's efforts to avoid a potentially disruptive strike by its various labor groups. The district has been negotiating with multiple unions, including the teachers' union UTLA, in recent weeks.

The details

Under the tentative agreement, LAUSD will increase salaries for the middle managers represented by AALA/Teamsters 2010 by 11.65% over a two-year period. This group includes administrators across six different departments within the school district. The agreement still needs to be ratified by the union's members.

  • The tentative agreement was announced on Sunday, April 13, 2026.
  • Earlier on the same day, LAUSD and the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) union also reached a tentative agreement.

What they’re saying

“This tentative agreement is an important step forward in our efforts to avoid a disruptive strike and provide stability for our students, families and staff.”

— Alberto Carvalho, Superintendent, Los Angeles Unified School District

What’s next

The tentative agreement with AALA/Teamsters 2010 still needs to be ratified by the union's members before it can be finalized. LAUSD is also continuing negotiations with SEIU Local 99, which represents 30,000 bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria workers, in an effort to reach a deal and avoid a potential strike.

The takeaway

The tentative agreements reached by LAUSD with both the administrators' union and the teachers' union represent significant progress in the district's efforts to resolve labor disputes and provide stability for students, families and staff. However, the district still needs to reach a deal with the largest union, SEIU Local 99, to fully avert the threat of a disruptive strike across its campuses.
