It's finally over.

Why? Well, even if the teachers union and L.A. Unified reach an agreement, union members would still have to vote on it.

As if trouble from one union wasn't enough, LAUSD now faces a second group of angry workers.

Don't get too excited yet. For now, they're just talking.

Los Angeles teachers union members have made a class-size reduction central to their demands during their strike against the L.A. Unified School District.

If LAUSD could scare up more money, is class-size reduction the best way to spend it?

At a press conference Tuesday morning, LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner said the district did not have plans to negotiate.

Los Angeles Unified School District teachers walked off the job today for their first strike in 30 years. While they marched and walked picket lines outside, skeleton crews of administrators and aides inside kept schools running as best they could.

Today's the big day.

LAUSD proposed spending $130 million on targeted class size reductions in certain schools and grade levels, an increase from the $105 million it had previously offered.
