## Caption

A shortage of licensed educators has led the Gary Community School District to temporarily bring in virtual teachers — a move that’s drawing both praise and criticism.⁠
⁠
More than 4,000 students are in the district, but only a small percentage will be instructed by a virtual teacher.⁠
⁠
As of Thursday, a little less than 13 virtual teachers were teaching subjects throughout the district, because school officials said about one-third of their teachers were not properly licensed.⁠
