Substitute teacher shortage impacting Nampa Schools

In order for kids to get an education in the public school system, teachers are needed. But as schools are now learning, sometimes it’s not easy to get a teacher in the classroom.

The Nampa School District is dealing with a substitute teacher shortage.

In a document that will be presented to the school board this evening, the district is reporting a 15-18% shortage of substitute teachers.

For the week of December 6th, the district needed 684 substitutes and had just 578.
