Child Sexual Abuse in Los Angeles Unified School District
The Los Angeles Unified School District [LAUSD] is the second-largest school district in the nation and serves over 600,000 students enrolled in over 1,000 schools. Well over 70 sexual assault lawsuits have been filed identifying LAUSD employees under the California Child Victims Act.
A child abuse reporting section on the LAUSD website states, “All District Employees, with actual knowledge or reasonable suspicion of child abuse/neglect, shall report instances of suspected child abuse or neglect, by telephone immediately, or as soon as practically possible.” Yet, due to the concerning past of LAUSD, we are certain this policy has not been adhered to.
According to the National Education Association, data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights found there were 9,649 instances of sexual violence from 2015 to 2016. From 2017 to 2018, that number increased by 55% to 14,938.

“Los Angeles Unified School District has a notorious history of hiring, and harboring perpetrators of child sexual abuse.
