A new bill that just passed the state senate would lift the rule that public and charter teachers have to live in New Jersey to teach in the state. The goal: to help ease teacher shortages.
Pennsauken Superintendent Dr. Ronnie Tarchichi said he's always looking for teachers, especially those in specialized fields.
A bipartisan bill - if passed - would lift the requirement that New Jersey public school teachers live in-state. "...we need to expand our pool to include those who live in other states but are close enough to commute. Other states don't hesitate to recruit in New Jersey, and we should be just as aggressive in our efforts on behalf of our students."
The Camden Education Fund is a nonprofit that works with Camden schools and has several initiatives to recruit and retain teachers.
