Maryland school administrators fear they won't have enough teachers in their classrooms when many students head back to school in August. The workforce shortage was a big topic for discussion at the Maryland State Board of Education's meeting Tuesday night.
Schools are not immune from ‘the great resignation.’
More than half of the teachers who have quit during the pandemic are relatively new teachers, those with less than five years of experience.
The state is not only trying to make it easier to become a teacher but to tempt people with more money in an effort to rectify the problem.
