A union representing teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) filed an unfair practice charge on Aug. 8 against the district for adding four optional days to the 2022–2023 school year.

The district’s school board approved in April the extension to help students who are still catching up on learning while emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic.
