Many schools in the district will be closed on Tuesday as service workers and teachers strike over better wages and staffing levels.

Hundreds of schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District —the second largest in the country—will be closed on Tuesday as teachers and workers stage a three-day walkout over better wages and staffing levels, among other things.Schools are expected to remain closed throughout the week, leaving roughly half a million students in California at home until next week.The strike risks rekindling parents' frustration after they were forced to home-school children during the pandemic.

But the school workers' union said that the district broke the confidentiality of their talks by going to the media before discussing matters with its bargaining team.'This afternoon, SEIU Local 99 had agreed to enter a confidential mediation process with LAUSD to try and address our differences,'' the union's Executive Director Max Arias said in a statement on Monday afternoon.
