[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am seeing 432 open teaching positions including long term subs.    Last year was pretty similar, and the number dropped to about 250 by the start of the school year.[/quote]
There's only 286 1.0 FTE (which eliminates the substitutes).
150 ES
78 MS
48 HS
10 other
This is a lot better than last year at this time.[/quote]

Why are there so many ES teacher positions vacant? That is surprising to me[/quote]

There are more ES teacher positions vacant because there are more ES teachers maybe per student perhaps. I know that there also generally are more ES students per grade in any society with a growing population. The youngest generations are going to be largest. Also, ES is 6 grades (K-5). HS is 4 grades, and MS is 3 grades. I'd then expect the vacancies in ES to be at least 2x the MS vacancies and 1.5x the HS vacancies. That said, MS positions are generally considered less sought after than HS positions, which may be why there are so many more MS positions vs HS positions.[/quote]
