Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Ky are confronting a “new normal” amid staffing shortages that will hit the district’s classrooms during the 2022-23 school year, stated by Superintendent Marty Pollio Tuesday.
About 200 certified teachers were among those listed as retiring or resigning from the district in recent months in a personnel report for Tuesday’s Jefferson County Board of Education meeting, about two times as many as the usual 82 resignations and 16 retirements of certified teachers.
Marty Pollio stated “We’re going to be dealing with this challenge in some way every year moving forward,” he said. “… We’re having to look at things differently with our schools in order to minimize the impact of staffing shortages in our schools, especially teachers.”
Aimee Green-Webb, the district’s human resources chief, said the district is looking to deploy personnel with teaching certifications to fill classroom vacancies that last longer than two weeks.
