LOS ANGELES—Facing a shortage of about 400 teachers, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) officials announced plans to temporarily fill those positions with administrators and other district staff.

LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho—who took office in February—said on April 11 he plans to fill the 400 vacant teaching positions by drawing from a pool of about 3,000 administrators, intervention specialists, and other staff working in the district’s office until the end of the school year.
