School staff with a high school diploma or GED can now serve as substitute teachers as the state faces a teacher staffing shortage.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed a new bill allowing non-teaching staff members to serve as substitute teachers for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year.
This move was made to combat a severe staffing shortage throughout Michigan's public school system. By passing this bill, the government hopes that this"temporary stopgap" will help alleviate the stresses brought on by the shortage. Others, however, aren't so sure this is the correct path to take. Senator Dayna Polehanki, an ex-teacher, called it a"faulty attempt to mitigate the substitute teacher shortage by playing musical chairs with support staff, taking secretaries and paraprofessionals among others away from their essential duties to sub for teachers in classrooms.
