[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 a lot of elementary schools and class sizes in ES are smaller than in MS and HS, so the number of teachers total needed per grade level decreases as kids move from ES to MS to HS. There are 136 ES, 40 MS, and 26 HS total. On average, each school needs 1-2 teachers.

And to a PP who said this doesn't count positions being filled by long term subs (because they couldn't find a FTE), um, yes it does. These ARE the positions that will end up with a LTS if they don't find a full time hire. But there are still 4 weeks to do so and teachers still move into the area or recent graduates still hunting jobs will widen a search.[/quote]
