After a years-long struggle with staff shortages, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is about 99 percent staffed before the new school year starts on Aug. 15, according to district officials.
A spreadsheet posted on the district’s website Aug. 10 listed more than 170 teaching positions, among which about 80 were at high-needs schools—namely schools with more students of disadvantaged social-economic backgrounds.
