Tens of thousands of educators walked off the job and onto picket lines Jan. 14 for the first time in 30 years. The union and LA Unified School District are at odds over issues including salary, class size and support staff.
Teachers have complained about overcrowded classrooms where students sit on window sills or on the floor.
The district has about 600,000 students in K-12. Schools have stayed open during the strike with a skeleton staff.
More than 1,000 firefighters from across the U.S. and Canada who are in Los Angeles as part of an international conference are scheduled to march on behalf of striking educators on Tuesday.
