Missed my notification to your reply. I’ve worked in 3 districts in 10 years and have family who teach in eastern MA as well as many friends and colleagues still teaching in the area. Staffing shortages are at all levels. Admin, classroom teachers, and support. We’ve become accustomed to large classroom sizes with fewer teachers. Most classrooms are used throughout the day so there is not space or the people for in house suspension.
