Two weeks before school starts, Los Angeles Unified Supt. Alberto M. Carvalho estimates that between 10,000 and 20,000 students are not enrolled or stopped attending last year, with the problem most pronounced in the youngest grades.
Carvalho said he personally contacted or attempted to reach about 50 students who were chronically absent and their families in order to better understand the problem and asked 25 members of his senior staff to do the same.

As the district gears up to open classrooms, many of the difficult issues of the 2021-22 school year persist when it comes to staffing, including the hiring of qualified teachers amid an ongoing state and nationwide shortage and the dire need for intense academic recovery. Although spring standardized tests scores have not yet been released, a preliminary look at the data shows cause for deep concern, Carvalho said.
“We continue to hire every single day,” Carvalho added. “If you have what it takes — if you are a credentialed individual.”. Carvahlo first tried the redeployment strategy last spring.
