School districts in Arizona have reported that they are suffering from a shortage of substitute teachers.During the recent recession, many out-of- work teachers and others with college degrees signed up to be substitute teachers to help make ends meet.
Now, with the economy improving, many of those who were substitutes have found full-time jobs. That’s causing a problem in Arizona classrooms.
In some schools, teachers are having to give up their prep periods to substitute for a colleague who has called in sick.
Andre Morril, president of the Arizona Education Association said Fridays are becoming more difficult to get substitute teachers.
One way to attract more substitute teachers, Morrill said, is for the state to allocate more money to schools.
Morrill added that, “We’re having a problem with systemic approaches to education funding, and the substitute shortages that we see in different places, to different degrees around the state, are kind of symptomatic of that.”
