Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wants task force to address teacher shortage during pandemic
“We applaud the governor’s directive to TEA, and we hope it produces collaboration between education leaders at the state and district levels — something that has too often been missing during the past several years,” Association of Texas Professional Educators Executive Director Shannon Holmes said in a statement. “These staffing shortages are a lingering effect of not only the pandemic but also new burdens placed on districts during the recent legislative session.
The Texas State Teachers Association appreciates the task force, spokesman Clay Robison said, noting that teacher shortages are nothing new in Texas.TEA’s task force should look at teacher pay to address retention issues, he suggested. “Teachers start teaching and you know five years later, about half of them are gone. Pay is a big reason for that,” Robison said.“We appreciate this task force now, but it comes after a campaign season in which he constantly attacked teachers in public schools,” he said.that included requiring schools to provide all classroom materials to parents and targeting the removal of teacher licenses for those who give students “obscene” content.
