Summary
LA Unified’s special education teachers face another year of overcrowded classrooms despite union efforts for smaller classes—new contracts cap resource teachers at 20 students, but enrollment has surged 7% since 2022. With 70,000+ students needing individualized support, educators warn the limit won’t cut it, especially as burnout rises and retention plummets. Parents struggle to get services for their kids, and while some teachers get monthly stipends for over-enrolled classes, it’s seen as a band-aid. The district remains vague on hiring plans, leaving educators and families anxious as next year’s contract talks loom.
