Houston ISD is starting the new school year with just 19 teaching positions left to fill—a dramatic drop from the hundreds of vacancies seen in recent years. After a final summer hiring event, the district extended dozens of job offers, bringing them closer than ever to a fully staffed team. Most of the remaining openings are for special education, bilingual pre-K, and electives, scattered across a few campuses. With enrollment down by about 7,400 students, the district’s workforce is shrinking, but leaders are determined to kick off the year strong. How do you think this impacts students and teachers across Houston? #Education #K12 #HoustonISD
