Members of the Aiken County Board of Education brainstormed solutions to the school district s substitute teacher shortage at its Dec. 8 meeting.
A lack of substitute teachers was part of the board s Nov. 17 decision to move schools back to hybrid instructional models â a combination of in-person classes and distance learning days.
The Back-to-School Advisory Committee reported declining fill rates for classrooms in need of substitutes that month, when district-wide quarantines peaked as students attended full-capacity classes.
North Augusta High, for example, reported regularly assigning aides and teachers in their planning periods to cover for absent faculty. The district reported a 69.8% fill rate for the first half of November.
