L.A. Unified reaches deal with administrators over reopening protocols

Los Angeles Unified has reached an agreement with the union representing administrators in the district, Associated Administrators of Los Angeles, over protocols for reopening campuses for in-person learning.

The district released only a summary of the agreement. It stipulates that all students and employees would need to be tested for Covid-19 before returning to campuses and that students will be grouped in small cohorts when they return.

Under the agreement, administrators will also be paid a stipend “in recognition of the extraordinary effort involved in planning for and implementing this effort,” the district said.

Campuses across L.A. Unified will not reopen until January at the earliest. Whenever they do reopen, it will be a hybrid model, with students spending some time learning in-person and some time learning from home. Students will also have the option of learning full-time from home.

“Our plans include the highest standards for health, education and employee practices at schools. We are grateful for the tireless efforts of administrators who are leading the charge to ensure our schools are ready for students to return in a hybrid learning model,” Superintendent Austin Beutner and Juan Flecha, president of the union, said in a statement.
