United Teachers Los Angeles v. Los Angeles Unified
Defendant and respondent Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) employs classroom teachers and home school teachers. Home school teachers provide one-on-one instruction to students who cannot physically attend their local schools, and the teachers are designated part-time or full-time depending on the number of students assigned to them. Education Code section 45025 mandates that pay for part-time teachers “bear[ ] the same ratio to the amount provided full-time employees as the time actually served by such part-time employees bears to the time actually served by full-time employees of the same grade or assignment.” We consider whether LAUSD is misapplying the statute by including a “conference/preparation” period that a collective bargaining agreement allocates to full-time home school teachers when deciding on the ratio by which part-time teachers (who are not allocated such a preparation period) should be paid.
