LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has temporarily filled nearly half of its vacant teaching positions with administrators and district staff, with plans to finish these reassignments soon.

Earlier this month, LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho—who took office in February—announced plans to fill about 420 vacant teaching positions with administrators and other staff as a part of his 100-day plan to address the district’s teacher shortage during his first few months on the job.
