QUEEN CREEK, AZ — Despite a surge in student population, Queen Creek Unified School District is"fully staffed" this school year, according to district human resources director Keegan Bassett.
Bassett said they first used more common ways to draw in teachers, like an increase in pay, marketing campaigns for job openings, and networking at job fairs both in and out of state. From there, though, he said they had to get creative. Bassett also said QCUSD is planning at least two new schools within the next couple of years to help with a rise in student population.
"Projections right now are we anticipate having another two elementary schools in our north region," Bassett said."In addition to that, we're going to need to add on wings to Crismon High School and Eastmark High School as well to continue to absorb the student population that we anticipate receiving."

Power to ya! Where do I sign up!! The lack of schools caring about kids when they tell them they're being bullied and not doing something about it is the problem parents should be suing schools. Where are the parents in all this? What responsibility are they taking here? What kid uses Facebook these days anyway. Parents stop giving your kids phones when they are 7 years old or even younger. How about we start there?
