Texas school district leaders said they are having trouble finding substitute teachers to fill in classrooms as more are staying home because of COVID-19.
EdWeek Research Center and Kelly Education report substitute teachers are harder to find now than in past years. Some Texas districts are increasing pay, lowering education requirements and finding alternative solutions to hire more substitutes.
Robstown Independent School District said like many across the state, they are also having trouble recruiting substitutes. Robstown ISD said it hasnât changed its requirements but they do schedule more substitute orientations.
