Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho announced on June 22 that the district has reached a two-year tentative agreement with its labor partners to continue to pro­vide health and welfare benefits to more than 95,000 employees and retirees.

“As I shared during the recent Los Angeles Unified budget presenta­tions, it is my intention to provide our employees with high-quality health care,” Carvalho said. “I look forward to continuing to collaborate with labor partners to reach fair and equi­table agreements in the best interest of our students and families.”

“We are delighted to have reached an agreement and are pleased with Superintendent Carvalho’s commitment to contin­ue to provide healthcare for employees and retirees,” said Adriana Salazar Avila, Teamsters Local 572 business representative and health benefits committee negotiations chair.

The agreement is subject to rati­fication by labor partners and adop­tion by the district’s Board of Education.
