Texas teachers shortage fuels pay gap and waning enrollments
An exhaustive Texas State Teachers Association survey shows 7,902 new teachers this year, 1,619 vacancies on opening day, and more than 6,100 teachers with substandard qualifications. Rural schools carry higher vacancies and many districts cut over 700 positions. Low Texas salaries, averaging 1200 dollars, deter students from teaching despite national averages above 1600.
