School districts push new hiring campaigns to replace teachers
USD 457 hired 132 new educators this year with 117 starting this week while nine special education vacancies remain. Some posts like speech pathologists have been unfilled since 2001. Districts boost recruiting through job fairs, personal outreach, and online postings. Kansas regulators loosen licensure to attract teachers from other states, with early starts and scholarships under consideration to retain staff and grow the profession.
