Rationale

As we prepare for the opening of the 2022-2023 school year, the District is facing an unprecedented number of classroom teacher vacancies.

This challenging workforce climate reflects a trend impacting school districts across the nation and is due to a variety of factors. An effective response to these challenges demands creativity, flexibility, and focused effort. JCPS has developed a multi-faceted series of strategies to change the way we recruit and retain qualified and effective teachers and classified staff members.

This information session will provide the Board with information regarding the scope of the problem, some of the causes, and the multi-faceted strategies for recruitment and retention for this year and into the future.
