Governor Tony Evers has unveiled a new initiative to address Wisconsin’s teacher shortage, announcing $1 million in grants to support teacher training programs across the state.
The funds will be distributed to non-profit organizations dedicated to recruiting, training, and certifying teachers.
Evers stressed the need to fill the growing teacher vacancies in Wisconsin schools, noting that many districts continue to face staffing challenges.
The teacher shortage is part of a broader national trend, with a significant spike in teacher retirements and departures following the COVID-19 pandemic.
