## Resource

LAUSD special education teachers face mounting pressure as class sizes swell and enrollment climbs—despite a new contract that caps integrated classes at 20 students and offers pay bonuses for overloaded classrooms, educators insist the real fix is hiring more staff, not just cash incentives. With over 70,000 students relying on these services and dozens of open teaching positions, parents and teachers alike sound the alarm: students with special needs are slipping through the cracks, and without urgent, systemic support, burnout and neglect will only deepen.
