- Frequently Asked Questions
What does the district currently do to attract and retain teachers?
The district reaches out to teachers at job fairs and online services. It provides a step program to increase salaries through experience and performance. It provides continuous professional development to hone skills and learn new teaching techniques. The district provides mental health and employee assistance programs to work through personal issues, along with flexibility with where teachers want to teach. Schools provide professional learning communities so teachers can collaborate. The reality is that Colleges of Education are no longer producing the number of graduates needed, and retirements and resignations are increasing. So despite our best efforts, the pipeline cannot keep up with the vacancies.
