Rural districts scramble for teachers in Garden City
Garden City USD 457 fights chronic staffing with out-of-state hires and hefty incentives. The district spends 50k to 60k yearly on recruiting, offering 5000 toward graduate study, tuition support, and sign-on bonuses while battling a sparsely populated region and aging rural pay. Michigan remains a key source, but turnover strains budgets and student access.
