(Springfield, IL) — Illinois cannot get past its teacher shortage. “The State Journal Register” in Springfield reported yesterday that schools across the state had over two thousand open positions at the start of the school year. A 2016 survey showed about 16-percent of schools had to cancel a class or activity because they didn’t have a teacher to head the classroom. The paper says there aren’t enough young people getting into teaching as a career.
