Wisconsin’s governor says the latest round of teacher education grants could help with the state’s teacher shortage.
Governor Tony Evers yesterday announced a million-dollars in grant money for non-profits across the state. The governor says the idea is to help local groups find, train, and license teachers. Evers says too many schools in Wisconsin need teachers. Wisconsin is not the only state seeing a teacher shortage. Reports show that the turnover numbers for teachers in the state spiked after the COVID years when many older teachers retired, and many young teachers left their classrooms for other jobs.
