Dozens of teachers from around the San Fernando Valley picketed school district offices in Van Nuys and Panorama City on Wednesday, continuing a citywide protest against what they call wasteful administrative spending practices.
The demonstrations by members of five Los Angeles Unified School District employee unions were part of a weeklong campaign, said a spokeswoman for United Teachers--Los Angeles. UTLA, which is currently in contract negotiations with the district, has called for money to be taken from administrative functions and channeled into teacher salaries.
