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.

What’s next
