Federal court rebukes West Contra Costa Unified School District for relying on unqualified substitute teachers amid staffing shortage, violating state law. The district failed to exhaust all hiring options before seeking waivers for unqualified classroom fillers, as per a 2024 Williams complaint. The ruling emphasizes the importance of qualified teachers for student success and urges the district to follow statutes or improve their hiring practices, despite an $87 million budget hole and potential job cuts.
