Daily News | The number of Philly teachers quitting midyear is up 200%, and staffing challenges are likely to continue
“As a result of the changing labor market, we are seeing a larger number of vacancies across many positions,” Shambaugh said.
Philadelphia is taking a multipronged approach to staffing up, everything from offering $5,000 in bonuses at hard-to-staff schools and allowing some schools to begin hiring early, to advocating for changes for reciprocity in other states’ teacher credentials. The district will also offer some $1,000 reengagement bonuses and begin reimbursing candidates for the cost of state permits and certifications.
Four hours into its meeting, the board had not yet voted on a landmark resolution that would formalize efforts to register all 18-year-olds — some 8,000 young people — to vote, and encouraging all students to be active participants in their democracy. Laura Brill, director of the Civics Center, a national nonprofit, said that the resolution was “potentially transformative” and that Philadelphia’s efforts could “be a model for other school districts across the country.”Commissioner Lisa Deeley, the city’s top elections official, offered the full support of the commissioners for all voting activity and education.
