HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DENISE: As we gear up for the students to head back to school, we wanted to take a look into not only the teacher shortages the districts are facing but take it a step further to address other areas in schools that are experiencing sta shortages. In this annual Education Edition, you will read about how districts are lacking in behind-the- scenes employees and what they are doing to address these issues. Denise Seiler, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM CLAIRE: This paper contains Community Impact’s annual Education Edition, which focuses on public education. Our front-page story talks about how Leander ISD and Liberty Hill ISD are navigating stang shortages in departments such as transportation, child nutrition and custodial services. We also have stories about a new law that requires an armed security guard to be located on every campus (see Page 19) and the recently revised Texas Education Agency A-F rating system (see Pages 24-25). Wishing students and families the best as they head back to school! Claire Shoop, EDITOR
CORRECTION: Volume 1, Issue 3 Clare Losey joined the Austin Board of Realtors as its housing economist in March.
