Statewide – Indiana’s teacher shortage remains front and center as schools are trying to fill open jobs this summer. And Indiana lawmakers say they’re looking at ways to try to recruit more teachers across the state. The state’s online education job board shows more than 2,300 open teaching positions as of Monday. That’s among the nearly 4,000 jobs open across all Indiana schools. Lawmakers are looking at several potential options, such as expanding incentives for new teachers, especially people of color, and ways to improve teacher compensation are also on the table, he added.
