There's a statewide teacher shortage. They are trying to hold on to the teachers they have. The way school districts are set up in Texas, there can be a bit of competition in the urban areas. Houston has more than 20 in the metro area. If a district doesn't keep up in pay, they lose teachers. I'm guessing Fort Worth is the same way. And the state isn't doing much to help, either.
They got their COL adjustment to one of the richest retirement packages out there. There's plenty of financial compensation for teachers. Guess they need still need that sweet, sweet victimhood though.
If your organization starts losing employees and is struggling to find the right people to hire, what does it do besides improving compensation and benefits for difficult-to-fill positions? Some districts are trying to sweeten the pot by offering more days off, but that can create problems, too.
