UTLA wants fully-staffed schools, smaller classes, equitable school funding and better pay for teachers

On the sidewalk of Bravo Medical Magnet High School, 30 teachers and supporters protested on Wednesday, Oct. 19 against what they say is a lag by Los Angeles Unified School District in addressing the United Teachers Los Angeles’s contract demands. Across the district, thousands of teachers participated in the protest, according to UTLA.
