[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a labor shortage.  This is not unique to mcps.[/quote]

There isn't a shortage of qualified teachers. There is a shortage of qualified teachers willing to do the job. There's a difference.[/quote]

I would disagree.

[b]There are retirees as boomers and others leave the workforce.  [/b]There is pandemic burnout taking others out of teaching.

Interest in being a teacher is waning.  We are not graduating from college and producing enough certified teachers.        Exit > Entrants

Retired teachers can come back and teach in other districts without it affecting their retirement. One of my colleagues in my district does this. She retired around age 60 from Baltimore County and a few yrs later, she took a job in Baltimore City. She's now at the top of the pay scale there and she gets her full pension from the county.  $$$$$

As long as teachers have a current certification, they can teach. They just don't want to because it is too much these days. My colleague hates sitting at home being bored so retirement wasn't for her. I'd have no problem being retired.[/quote]
