Brockton high school teacher shortage ‘very dire', students spending class time in cafeteria

At a recent school committee meeting, officials said roughly two dozen teachers are out at the high school each day. According to the district’s job website, they have 74 openings for certified teachers.

“I didn’t go to school to waste 55 minutes in the cafeteria doing nothing,” freshman Sophia Teixeira said. Brockton parents were heated at a school meeting to discuss the district's $14 million budget shortfall. “Usually you try to hire before September in education," Mendes Rivas said."If you try to hire in November, it becomes so much more difficult."
