Los Angeles Unified School District has narrowly avoided a strike after reaching a tentative overnight deal with SEIU Local 99, preventing closures across more than 1,300 schools serving nearly 400,000 students. The agreement followed weekend deals with unions for teachers and administrators, whose solidarity pact had increased bargaining pressure. SEIU had rejected a 13% raise over three years, with Executive Director Max Arias saying: “People are not willing to work with poverty wages anymore.” The dispute reflects wider pressure on California school districts as pandemic aid fades, labor costs rise, and scrutiny grows over LAUSD spending and leadership turmoil.

San Antonio ISD has joined a national class-action lawsuit against social media companies, alleging that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok contribute to student addiction and mental health issues. The lawsuit claims that these companies design their platforms to encourage addictive behavior, leading to emotional and physical harm among students. SAISD's decision follows a recent ruling where a jury found Meta and YouTube liable for similar issues. SAISD attorney Pablo Escamilla noted that damages include financial losses from students missing school due to mental health struggles. Christina Martinez, SAISD Board Vice President, emphasized the need to reinvest any settlement funds into mental health resources for students. The lawsuit is part of a broader effort, with thousands of districts nationwide participating as they seek accountability from social media companies for the impact on youth mental health.
