The pandemic and movements for racial justice introduced new pressures that have the potential to scramble LAUSD school board politics.

L.A. Unified Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on Monday confirmed that a breach of sensitive data by cyberattackers had compromised the Social Security numbers of some district employees and contractors.

The city will pick up most of the cost of a device that feeds data to homeowners and helps them find ways to conserve water in their daily lives.

The district will reschedule the “acceleration days” during winter and spring breaks, which teachers feel will be less disruptive.

"The process of making the bread feels like a holy act to me."

With permanent housing options scarce, more people are staying for longer in beds meant for temporary stays.

Last spring, internal alarms were sounded over air quality in its headquarters, Beaudry. Today, Los Angeles Unified says the ventilation systems are "up to all standards and codes."

As a child of immigrants, "I was raised by TV," said Mindy Kaling, actor and advisor to the school. "But I had no access" to the industry.

Superintendent Alberto Carvalho argued that following the district’s normal spending process might hand an advantage to any cyberattackers still keen on breaching LAUSD’s cyber defenses.

As expected, "kids who were at risk and in a fragile condition prior to the pandemic ... were the ones who lost most ground," said L.A. Unified's superintendent.

Cybersecurity auditors gained access to a “limited number of Social Security numbers” on LAUSD systems and tricked employees into sharing passwords. Were these easy-fix problems, or entrenched issues?

Los Angeles Unified school officials shut down all of the district’s vital online systems over the weekend in an attempt to contain a ransomware cyberattack.
