Teachers will vote on contract reopener beginning June 1
The union says it’s a student-focused agreement and there will be one more full-time teacher at every secondary school to help alleviate large class sizes. The reopeners are part of the current 2014-17 contract, which last year included a 10 percent salary increase. A member ratification vote will take place at school sites from June 1-3, with votes counted June 4. The agreement is also pending a vote by the school board. By Our Weekly Los Angeles
