Hundreds of teaching jobs are still unfilled in Akron and Cleveland as the new school year starts, and it’s not just a local issue—schools across the country are struggling to hire enough educators. In Akron, nearly 8% of teaching and support roles are vacant, with layoffs and fewer young people entering the profession making things worse. Cleveland is also short about 160 teachers, especially in special education. This means bigger classes, more substitutes, and less support for students who need it most. How do you think these shortages will affect our kids and communities this year? #Education #K12 #AkronSchools
