SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – Thousands of students have returned to the classroom in San Francisco Wednesday amid circulating fears that the school district does not have enough teachers.

More than 50,000 students are enrolled in public school under the San Francisco Unified School District. In early August, district officials said they were struggling to fill classrooms ahead of the new year, admitting they were around 100 educators short, KNTV reported.
The district now says every classroom is adequately staffed for the first day of school, but the solution may not be permanent. According to SFUSD, multiple classrooms are being led by stand-in staff who are normally in leadership and curriculum roles.
"All SFUSD classrooms have a qualified educator today, the first day of school. We have reassigned credentialed staff to work in classrooms as we continue to hire educators to fill vacant positions," a SFUSD spokesperson said in a statement to KCBS Radio.
The long-term solution is not yet clear, but for now San Francisco students have not been left teacher-less.
