A bill signed Thursday by Gov. Mike DeWine could help with the teacher shortage being experienced statewide in Ohio.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Bird told the same committee in November that the state “may not have enough students in higher education programs right now to cover the number of teachers who are forecasted to retire in the next few years.” The board would also be required to issue professional educator licenses to those temporary license holders who complete six semester hours or 18 units of continuing education courses in their area of licensure.
“It’s time to build on the momentum of this legislation to achieve the meaningful, systemic changes needed to keep more great educators in our classrooms and attract the next generation of teachers to this rewarding profession,” DiMauro said in a statement to the OCJ.
