As the nation’s second largest school district, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) serves more than 730,000 students. Our diverse and culturally rich student population is increasing, and so is our need for qualified, dedicated teachers and school support staff.

The District, which encompasses the city of Los Angeles and several neighboring cities, offers exceptional opportunities for teachers. We believe teachers are shapers of the future, and we are committed to educational reform and innovative instructional programs that are aligned to state standards. The LAUSD provides a supportive and dynamic environment for making a difference in young lives and enriching the student-teacher experience.
