Los Angeles USD (LAUSD) will today hold its first regular meeting since Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was placed on administrative leave following a federal investigation. The agenda includes a significant budget update, labor agreements, and a resolution to distance the district from vendors linked to immigration enforcement. The Second Interim Financial Report indicates a projected deficit of $877m for the 2026-2027 school year, with a shrinking general fund balance. “LAUSD is still projecting deficit spending in each of the next three years,” the district’s presentation stated. Labor tensions persist as negotiations continue with major unions, including United Teachers Los Angeles. The meeting will also address student screen time guidelines and support for lowering the voting age to 16 in local elections.
