In Los Angeles, the school district has lost 8% of its enrollment over the past few years as many families who can’t afford to stay in their homes have moved out of the area, says Monica Carazo, a spokeswoman at the Los Angeles Unified School District. A number of high schools had to let teachers go. Before, schools were so crammed, some children didn’t even have desks.
