A recent study by the school district found that LAUSD has been losing 100 Black educators every year since 2016.
A study by the Los Angeles Unified School District found that it needs to do more when it comes to recruiting and retaining Black teachers, who are vital to young Black students.
"What the study says to me is that a lot of young Black students aren't getting educated by Black teachers," said teacher Scott Whitney. Last fall, LAUSD implemented and funded the Black Student Achievement Plan to address the long-standing disparities between Black students and their non-Black peers. One example being implemented was to have students clean up graffiti rather than harsher punishments.
