Houston ISD again to deploy non-classroom employees to fill teacher vacancies

factors contributing to the statewide educator shortage appeared to be difficulty retaining teachers, as the state is producing an increasing number of teachers but not enough to keep up with those leaving the profession or districts adding positions to be filled.Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, the state’s third-largest school district, had 482 vacancies out of 7,670 teaching positions, a spokesperson said Wednesday. Meanwhile, Pearland ISD had 29 teaching vacancies.

"Most of our ability to address shortages is with long-term substitutes who are seeking teacher certifications,” Pearland ISD Director of Communications Cissa Madero said. “At this time, we have not combined classes, raised ratios or placed other personnel into classrooms for coverage."Cy-Fair ISD spokeswoman Leslie Francis said that district, which begins classes Aug. 22, has more than 1,350 substitute teachers who have committed to filling vacancies this fall.

Uhm wonder 🤔 why no applicants
