It is late in the “hiring season” and some schools have yet to staff their classrooms. This challenge has reached the level it has generated coverage by the NY Times<\/a> (North Dakota was not mentioned, but it appears the state has a similar problem<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I have relatives involved in both the education and health care “industries” so inconsistencies sometimes jump out at me. Remember before the compensation for nurses jumped how the health care industry was concerned about staffing challenges? I don’t remember that bringing in “community experts” to fill positions normally held by those with training was considered a solution. So, a nurse might teach biology, but a biologist could not be a nurse? A pharmacist could teach chemistry, but a chemistry teacher could not count out pills?
