Los Angeles Unified opened the school year across 1,300 campuses while pushing most of its budget cuts into later years, allowing leaders to project stability despite plans for more than 6,000 job losses, possible unpaid furlough days and school or building closures. County and state overseers said the district met the technical requirements of a 45-day budget revision deadline after major labor agreements added $1.13 billion in annual costs this year and $1.44 billion next year, reducing the immediate risk of outside intervention. But fiscal monitors said the district must carry out a three-year savings plan or face a worsening deficit projected at up to $3.5 billion by June 30, 2029, while another account put the potential shortfall at as much as $3.6 billion if cuts are not made. The new school year also begins amid leadership turnover following Alberto Carvalho's June resignation after an FBI raid tied to a tech-contractor investigation, continuing enrollment declines that officials said may have been worsened by immigration-enforcement fears, and parent concerns near the Boyle Heights Lineage warehouse fire.
