## Resource

LA Unified special education teachers are sounding the alarm as class sizes swell despite a new contract cap—teachers say cash stipends won’t fix the crisis, demanding more staff and programs instead. With special ed enrollment up 7% since 2022 while overall student numbers dip, educators struggle to provide individualized care, forcing some parents to pay for private testing. Over 20 teaching positions remain unfilled, and with 70,000 students relying on these services, burnout and retention issues loom large as the new school year begins.
