"LA, teachers reach deal to save $180m

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles teachers union says it has reached a deal with the school district to shorten the school year at least five days, as officials cope with a $640 million budget deficit.

Can you hear the cheering of the kids?


Teachers will take five unpaid furlough days this year and seven next year, saving the nation’s largest school district $180 million. The deal allows schools to maintain class sizes and save more than 2,000 jobs. The agreement has to be approved by the teacher’s union (AP)."
