WHERE HAVE ALL THE TEACHERS GONE?

As more trained professionals leave education across the country, communities are facing a growing crisis.  Some communities are exploring 4-day school weeks to increase teacher retention, some are paying retired teachers to come back from retirement, and some simply having to eliminate classes and educational offerings for students.  Join us as we learn about this national crisis and to what extent we are seeing these issues locally.  Discover what leaders are doing to proactively address issues and demonstrate how they value and support those caring for and leading our most important community asset: students.
