Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho is preparing for the new school year starting August 12. In his recent Opening of Schools Address, Carvalho reported positive progress from pandemic-era setbacks, including a return to pre-pandemic attendance levels at 92%, a 50% reduction in chronic absenteeism, and overall improvements in reading and mathematics across all grade levels. Notably, schools with high poverty, Black and brown students, students with disabilities, and English language learners showed significant recovery. To support continued improvement, the district offers free tutoring for all students before and after school.
