Teachers Union Votes to Support Reform Bill
- Share via
Members of the city’s teachers union late Wednesday narrowly approved a motion to support a proposed bill that would dramatically transform the Los Angeles Unified School District.
In a special meeting that ran late into the evening, many in the union’s 300-member House of Representatives vented frustration that union leaders had not consulted the House before striking a deal with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa over the contents of the bill.
In the end, the House voted to support the bill 101 to 89. A motion to oppose the bill failed by a similar margin.
