According to a recent Frontline Education Survey, the nation is dealing with a teacher shortage, and the Montgomery Public School System is among those trying to combat the problem.
Kim Gillis MPS Associate Superintendent of Human Resources said as the new school year approaches, it is crunch time to fill vacancies they currently have. They’re looking for interested candidates with any kind of college degree to apply for open positions.
The school system currently has over 100 vacancies. MPS officials believe this is because of an increase in retirements within the system. Also, graduation rates for those entering the education field are down across the country.
