MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. â School district officials in Martin County are hoping a job fair on Wednesday will help fill a number of open positions.
Currently, the district has 168 jobs posted, fifty of which are teachers.
Other open positions include bus drivers, food service workers, and paraprofessionals. We want to make sure that we have the right talent in front of us that s committed and ready to be part of our team and excited to educate our students, said Lauren Gifford, Interim Asst. Principal at Port Salerno Elementary.
We ve hit that mark (and) that is significant amidst a pandemic, Indian River County Superintendent David Moore told the School Board Tuesday.
The largest decline was seen in statewide results, with Florida school districts reporting a combined drop of 4%, down from 58% last year to 54% this year.
In Martin County, 52% of third graders achieved a Level 3 or above, down from 54% in 2020; in St. Lucie, it was 47% of third graders, down from 50% last year, records show.
The annual test, first administered in 2015, measures student achievement of the state s academic standards, specifically in English and math.
It s significant because the state requires any third grader who fails to score at least at Level 2 to repeat third grade unless they qualify for an exemption. However, this year, because of the pandemic, students may be promoted regardless of their scores.
