“It’s become a financial competition from district to district to do that, and that’s unfortunate for children in communities who deserve the same opportunities everywhere in the state,” Superintendent Daniel McGarry said. The district has warned families it may have to cancel school or switch to remote learning on days when it lacks subs.

Since well before the COVID-19 pandemic, schools have had difficulty recruiting enough teachers in some regions, particularly in parts of the South. Schools flush with federal pandemic relief money are creating new positions and struggling to fill them at a time of low unemployment and stiff competition for workers of all kinds. But the challenges are related more to hiring, especially for non-teaching staff positions. In reality, there is little evidence to suggest teacher turnover has increased nationwide or educators are leaving in droves.Ĭertainly, many schools have struggled to find enough educators.
