Teachers In Demand County Supervisors Face a Moral Dilemma
County Superintendent Ellis Perry faces a shortage of qualified teachers across Howard county and others. State Superintendent Barrett says counties must not certify incompetent teachers and should cooperate with boards to hire certified staff. If wages stay low, schools may close as educators demand higher pay and stability. There is ongoing revival work at the M. E. church and social events marking Thanksgiving.
