In Phoenix, kindergarten teacher Amber Fusco is one of two certified teachers responsible for in-person learning for Shaw Butte Elementary school’s 100 kindergartners, most of whom are enrolled in hybrid learning. Three student teachers help her out.⠀
⠀
The school’s principal moved seven of her 29 teachers to different grade levels or to combined grade-level classes to compensate for vacancies and ensure proper class size. Two of her vacancies came from people trying out teaching as a second career. “One didn’t work out,” said Shaw Butte Principal Tracy Maynard. “One made it two weeks and quit.”⠀

As if the pandemic weren’t disruptive enough, many American schools are facing a growing shortage of teachers.⠀
⠀
School districts are recruiting parents as substitute teachers, online class sizes are soaring to 50 children or more and bus drivers are baby-sitting classrooms. Some are considering allowing asymptomatic teachers who were exposed to Covid-19 to continue to show up.⠀
⠀
Public-school employment in November was down 8.7% from February, and at its lowest level since 2000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That includes teachers who quit, retired early or took leaves of absence due to the pandemic, and layoffs of support staff such as teachers’ aides and clerical workers.⠀
⠀
Nowhere is the impact more stark than Arizona. At the start of the school year in August, school districts weren’t able to hire traditionally certified teachers for 78% of 6,145 open positions, according to a survey by the Arizona School Personnel Administrators Association.⠀
