TALKS RESUME IN L.A. TEACHERS STRIKE: A new round of contract negotiations started Thursday between Los Angeles school district officials and a teachers union as thousands of educators picketed in the rain ... The announcement that the two sides would sit down for the first time in nearly a week didn't indicate whether any new contract offers would be on the table. Union officials tempered expectations. "After 21 months of negotiations I think it would be an unrealistic expectation to say that this is going to be over after today because there are hard issues to work through," said Alex Caputo-Pearl, president of United Teachers Los Angeles.
Talks between both sides broke off last week, sending tens of thousands of teachers to picket lines. Clashes over pay, class sizes and support-staff levels in the district with 640,000 students are at the center of Los Angeles' first teachers strike in 30 years.
