As the Los Angeles school district reckons with staff shortages, the superintendent deploys administrators into classrooms.
With less than two months left in the school year, many of Los Angeles Unified’s highest-needs schools remain significantly understaffed, impeding academic recovery and prompting Supt. Alberto M. Carvalho to deploy credentialed administrators and staff back into the classroom.— a deepening problem in California and nationwide — has hit hardest at schools in parts of South L.A.
Chase Stafford, vice president of policy and planning for the Partnership, said his organization is worried and is pushing bold solutions for what has been a long-entrenched problem: high teacher turnover and disproportionate vacancy rates in schools serving the poorest urban neighborhoods. Carvalho did not go as far as to say he would freeze hiring at low-need schools, but he acknowledged the challenges some schools face.
The district’s operational shortcomings have also made for hiring delays, Ortiz Franklin said, including a human resources staff that has not grown despite the increased number of open positions. But Ortiz Franklin said she is hopeful about Carvalho’s plan.
