The teacher shortage has been a problem in Alabama for years, and some say the pandemic further highlighted the issue.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - “We’ve seen shortages with our bus drivers, our cafeteria workers, as well as our educators, even administrators,” said Jade Jones, Senior Communications Officer for Montgomery Public Schools.Currently, MPS is trying to entice young people to work in its classrooms – even those without an education degree.
“We have to go back to the basics,” Jones said. “Reaching out to those students that are graduating from colleges, and also reaching out to those who may not have taken that traditional path of graduating with a degree in education, but they have a passion for teaching.”As students head off for spring break, MPS will host a job fair at the Cramton Bowl Multiplex.Make plans to come out to the Cramton Bowl Multiplex between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
