LAUSD Files Legal Challenge To Stop Strike
(Los Angeles, CA) — Los Angeles Unified School District officials are making a last-ditch attempt to head off a three-day strike that would shut down campuses in the nation’s second-largest school district. The LAUSD asked California state labor regulators to issue an injunction to block the strike which district leaders say is illegal. Sources told the “Los Angeles Times” they don’t know if the state Public Employment Relations Board will act on the filing in time to keep thousands of support staff and teachers from going on strike Tuesday.
