Superintendent Check-In

It continues to be important for superintendents to support each other and share ideas. In Superintendent Check-In this month, we asked three superintendents about how their districts are addressing the teacher shortage. Each district was a recipient of an Education Career Pathways Grant from the Illinois State Board of Education. ISBE launched the Education Career Pathway Grant program in fiscal year 2020 to help school districts better meet their local teacher pipeline needs. According to a recent news release, the grants are preparing 10,805 future teachers in high schools across the state. The next round of funding is expected to be released in early 2023.
