Akron Public Schools are kicking off the new year with over 160 staff positions still unfilled—including teachers, special ed, and support staff. This shortage isn’t just a local issue; it’s part of a national trend, making it even tougher to find the right people. The district is hustling with job fairs and quick hiring processes, but families are understandably worried about how this will impact their kids’ learning. Many believe real change starts with paying teachers what they’re worth and supporting them beyond the classroom. How do you think Akron—and schools everywhere—should tackle this challenge? #Education #K12 #AkronSchools
