The U.S. Department of Education found nearly half (45%) of public schools started the 2022-2023 school year without a full teaching staff.
With summer waning and kids soon to fill classrooms, schools nationwide are trying desperately to fill open positions.
"When adjusted for inflation, our teachers' salaries are stuck in the 90s," said Elisa Villanueva Beard, CEO of Teach for America. But teachers say it’s not just about money. Across the country, shrinking budgets mean teachers are stuck paying for supplies and other necessities. Teachers also say they face a polarizing political climate in places like Florida, a state where lawmakers decide how to teach about sexuality, gender and race issues. Florida was recently widely criticized for adopting a curriculum suggesting there were benefits to people who were enslaved.
