San Francisco Unified School District has about 40 teaching vacancies and is offering hiring bonuses. But on the first day of class, every classroom had an educator.
public school students are back in class. The district is still hiring teachers, but for now the superintendent says there was an educator in place for every classroom on the first day of school., a teacher shortage and a structural budget shortfall.
The district itself is facing its own challenges; including a shortage of about 40 teachers going into this school year. "Through reassignments I believe we were able to have every classroom have a teacher on the first day of school," said Superintendent Matt Wayne from San Francisco Unified Schools. "And so as we see how enrollment comes in we will be able to finalize the staffing to ensure that that happens throughout the school year."
"That's not going to happen here," said Superintendent Wayne. "Our plan is to ensure that there are teachers with students and district staff will step in as needed. But, we do have teachers with students and everyone has a place to be."
