[quote=Anonymous]If they don’t we just go without those positions. If it’s a Gen Ed position, the other Gen Ed teachers in that grade or content level simply have bigger classes to absorb the students that teacher would’ve theoretically taught. If it’s an EL position, the kids who need El support in their class may not have an EL teacher to do that. If it’s a sped position, the same. It creates issues with class size, staff workload, and student support, but you can’t make people take these jobs and fewer and fewer people want them.

Also, as a general rule, the later in the year that someone is hired, the greater the likelihood they are not a great candidate. The good people are snatched up early when hiring begins. If someone is getting hired in July/August, it’s usually a “there aren’t any other options” situation where the school needs a body and hopes for the best. There’s some exceptions to this, like someone happens to just move to this area in late summer and they’re really good, but generally speaking, the last minute fill-ins for these jobs leave something to be desired.
