As the school teacher shortage continues across California, leading state officials and school districts are scrambling to find enough teachers for their classes. North County Joint Union School District and Tres Pinos Union School District in San Benito County were able to fill their teacher vacancies before classes began last week, but said it was a struggle. The situation has districts concerned about the future of teaching and classrooms in the county.
San Benito County administrators point to the pandemic’s negative impact on teachers.
In a news release from the California Department of Education on April 19, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said there were more than 10,000 teacher vacancies across the state during the 2021-22 school year.
