The union also labeled the addition of the optional days as a "$122 million stunt'' that "prioritizes optics over student needs.'' At the time, the UTLA called the move an overstepping of the district's authority and a failure to include teachers in discussions about how to recover learning time lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Friday, the union said the optional days "are to distract from the district's refusal to support an equitable education for all students by denying our children support and services proven to ensure student success.'' "LAUSD must reallocate the funds being used on the 'Accelerated Days' to the programs, services and staff roles proven to have a long term positive impact on student learning and career outcomes,'' the union said.
