Cincinnati Public Schools feeling the impacts of teacher shortage

A recent report from the Ohio Department of Education reveals there's a critical need for more teachers in southwest Ohio. “It's a big deal. Absolutely a big deal,” said Jeff Wensing, Vice President of the Ohio Education Association. “There are about 50% less students choosing education as a major. That’s concerning." Data from Ohio Department of Education’s report shows there’s an increase of Ohio teachers who are deciding to leave the profession. Of more than 2,300 teachers surveyed, 72% reported they have seriously considered leaving their job recently.
