I agree and I think if the states help attract more people from within these communities to the education field ( Early childhood and K-12) through special incentives that could cover school expenses, health care for these individuals and their families, and child care benefits regardless of their income, focusing in early childhood education and trainings, can be very helpful in bringing more people to the work force. Teachers are the builders of a stronger communities and nations and we should always invest in building a strong future for our children as they will be the leaders who will take care of us when we are older!

Subject: New Data Show School Staffing Shortages Disproportionately Hitting High-Poverty Districts During Pandemic
"During a school year marked by fears of K-12 labor shortages - with nationwide reports of principals driving bus routes, superintendents filling in as substitute teachers and school cafeterias forgoing hot meals due to a lack of workers - a new analysis out of Washington state quantifies the depth of disparities in teacher and staff vacancy rates between high- and low-poverty school systems."
