[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some MCPS schools, including my DC's, seem to have too many teachers. It's sounding like the schools with the good principals don't have as many staffing issues?

Also, many former MCPS students have gone elsewhere due to the in-person school closures.

So would be curious which schools are the ones with all these unfilled positions.[/quote]

This is a fictional crisis since they're turning down highly qualified applicants.  [/quote]

I've noticed this as well. There are definitely openings and many applicants. I remember being in a room when an MCPS recruiter entered. When the room heard she was a recruiter, there was high interest. People seem confused about the hiring process. Many wondered why they haven't heard back from MCPS. [/quote]

My guess is that if this was broken out better, the greatest unfilled positions in MCPS are:

Paras (poor pay)
Special Ed teachers (very difficult job for the pay)
In schools whose principals have a bad rap
In schools with significant challenges- be it behavioral, poor performance, very high ESOL etc.

So for some schools, attracting staff, particularly experienced teachers, probably isn't that difficult, whereas for others, it is very difficult.
