More classrooms in Durham and Wake are finally seeing steady teachers at the front, but the struggle isn’t over—especially for special education. Both districts are reporting their best staffing trends in years, with fewer teachers leaving and more new faces joining. Durham even offers a 10% pay bump for teachers with a master’s degree, making it one of the few places in North Carolina to do so. Still, nearly 100 positions remain open, mostly in special ed. How do you think schools can keep attracting and supporting great teachers? #Education #Durham #WakeCounty
