After schools across the nation have suffered from a teacher shortage, states are making dramatic changes in order to fill these positions.

"I've seen what happens when you don't have teachers in the classroom. I've seen the struggle," Dallas schools trustee Maxie Johnson said just before the school board approved expanding that district's reliance on uncertified teachers. He added, "I'd rather have someone that my principal has vetted, that my principal believes in, that can get the job done."
The trustees in Dallas leaned into a state program that allows districts to bypass certification requirements, often to hire industry professionals for career-related classes. The school system has hired 335 teachers through the exemption as of mid-September. Such hires only delay the inevitable as the teachers don't tend to stay as long as others, said Shannon Holston, policy chief for the nonprofit National Council on Teacher Quality.
Christopher Blair, the county's former schools superintendent, long struggled to recruit teachers. Poorer counties can't compete with higher salaries in neighboring districts.
