Today, we find ourselves in a national teacher shortage that we have
been able to avoid over the past few years. Old educators like me were
warned about it many years ago, the lens being inevitable Baby Boomer
retirements. Moreover, the number of college students choosing to teach
for a career continues to dwindle while the demand for teachers
continues to grow.
The shortage is real and is now impacting us significantly. As of today, we are down over 40 teachers,
and there are very, very few candidates available to interview. Our
Human Resources professionals attend over 40 recruitment fairs both in
person and virtually, including our own hiring fair held every March.
Still, the number of prospective candidates continues to decline each
year.
