Rural counties scrambling for ways to find and keep quality teachers in the classroom.

Rural counties are scrambling to come up with ways to find and keep quality teachers in the classroom. At the current rate, half of these teachers will leave or retire in the next 10 years. A shortage of employable teachers in our rural schools, means the overall quality of the work force is lowered. This has profound workforce implications for not only individual students, but for our state.
