(11 Jan 2019) A Los Angeles judge on Thursday found no reason to delay an expected teachers strike next week against the nation's second-largest school district over wages and class sizes.
Superior Court Judge Mary H. Strobel ruled Thursday on the issue of whether United Teachers Los Angeles had given legally proper notice of a strike to the district.
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner said he's willing to negotiate "around the clock" to avoid a walkout.
"We'd like to avoid a strike," Beutner told the Associated Press.
The union initially set the strike to begin Thursday but delayed it until Monday while awaiting the court ruling.
A strike by the district's 35,000 teachers would affect 640,000 students.
