LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said Wednesday morning that he and district negotiators are prepared to meet around the clock to avert a planned three-day strike by unions representing teachers and campus support staff.
His public invitation came as the school system’s two largest employee unions prepared for a joint rally Wednesday afternoon at Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles. At the rally, union leaders have said they will announce the date of the strike, which could be scheduled for as early as next week.
The strike would shut down schools attended by more than 420,000 students,
