The Beginning

The Lynwood Teachers Association was established in 1966, with the trunk of the founder’s car serving as the first LTA office. LTA was founded with a mind to improve the working conditions of teachers and an emphasis on the importance of a high quality learning environment for students.

At the time, the Bargaining Team consisted of a “meet and consult” group, which meant that the district could ignore the teachers’ wishes and provide the schools and teachers with only what chose. That changed in the mid-70s, when Jerry Brown was governor for the first time. Bargaining then became “bargaining between the District and the Teachers,” and the District had to listen and respond to the Teachers’ bargaining positions.

As an LTA member, you are part of approximately 600 dedicated educators serving the Lynwood Unified School District.  We represent all TK-12 teachers, counselors, speech language pathologists, school psychologists, early childhood educators, social-emotional learning specialists, and adult school teachers employed in Lynwood.  Additionally, as an LTA member, you are part California Teachers Association (CTA) representing 325,000 educators throughout California, and National Educators Association (NEA), representing 3.2 million educators across the country.
