BOISE, Idaho — For the first time, the Idaho State Board of Education sent out a survey to Idaho’s 115 school districts in recent weeks to get a sense of just how short-staffed they are.
78 of the 115 districts have responded. Combined, the 78 districts are currently unable to fill 894 teaching openings.
“I haven’t pulled information from our charter schools yet but what I am hearing so far is that they are experiencing similar difficulties,” State Board of Education Chief Planning and Policy Officer, Tracie Bent said.
