Sunset Ridge Families, 

Thank you so much for your support of our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week! From special lunches to class gifts to "chalking the walk," our teachers really felt the love.  

I think just about everybody is aware of the challenges in the labor markets these days, and I know it impacts many professions. But the trend in staffing challenges in education has been growing over time, and I'm predicting more shortages for the coming years.  

* Education has an aging workforce (meaning more retirements to come) while enrollment in education programs has been steadily declining over the last 10 years. 
* Many teachers cite low pay combined with high stress/pressure and a lack of respect as their main reasons for quitting.  
* In fact, special education, elementary education, and early childhood education are among the college majors that result in the lowest pay.
* Some States are doing away with college requirements to be educators, some are giving teaching jobs to veterans, some are putting National Guard troops in schools as teachers, and some districts are looking to reduce to a 4-day week to address teacher shortages.
