Two Lancaster County senators plan to introduce a bill that would prevent a program meant to help schools find substitute teachers from expiring this summer.
Republican state Sens. Ryan Aument, of Mount Joy, and Scott Martin, of Martic Township, said they re working to extend the Act 86 Program, which allows current students enrolled in a Pennsylvania accredited college or university pursuing a teacher certification work as a substitute teacher. Eligible students must have the necessary clearances and at least 60 earned credit hours.
The proposal, announced Tuesday, comes as school districts in Lancaster County and beyond are already struggling mightily to fill classrooms due to abrupt quarantines and illness related to COVID-19. If the program, created in 2016, expires as originally planned on June 30, it could eliminate a portion of available substitutes from an already shrinking pool.
One day in early December, Ephrata High School math teacher Kris Miller took a rather peculiar approach in class.
He had his students read an article from a recent edition of Scholastic News. âCould You Clone Your Pet?â the headline read.
Miller then went around the room and asked students to share their petsâ names and decide whether theyâd consider cloning them. After all, who doesnât want their pet to live forever?
âCharice? No,â Miller said, uncharacteristically fumbling on the studentâs name.
âCharis,â the student said, correcting him.
âCharis. Darn it,â Miller said.
âI used to have, um, three cats, but now I only have two because one of them died,â Charis said.
Already facing a shortage, COVID causes added stress to the substitute teacher pool
