On Friday, June 15, 2012, AALA reached a tentative agreement with LAUSD for the 2012-2013 school year. It addressed the restoration of jobs and services coupled with furlough days. Following are the key points of the agreement:
• AALA members will take a maximum of ten (10) furlough days (three of which will be during Thanksgiving week). The actual number of days will depend upon the outcome of the November 2012 election.
o If the Governor’s Initiative passes, the number of furlough days may be reduced.
o Negotiations will begin immediately after the election.
o The ten furlough days will include five instructional days, one pupil-free day and four days that are paid nonwork days.
• If another bargaining unit gains fewer furlough days, AALA is entitled to parity.
• Written assurance of the restoration of 200 AALA positions—
