Cobb County Schools hopes to avoid starting the school year with empty teaching positions in August.
Chief of Staff Grant Rivera said the district is ahead of schedule to get 200 vacancies filled by after issuing employment contracts to teachers in February, along with holding job fairs in March to find qualified candidates.
“Cobb was already hiring before most districts had even internally determined their allotments and vacancies,” he said.
Across metro Atlanta school districts are getting creative as they seek to fill nearly 2,000 teacher vacancies for the upcoming school year.
Job fairs are on calendars of several of the districts, and school systems are using social media, doing interviews online and using other creative methods to find teachers this year.
