Gov. Pritzker has announced a new initiative aimed at alleviating chronic teacher shortages across the state. The Teacher Pipeline Grant Program would give $70 million per year over the next three years to 170 school districts with the greatest needs.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker arrives to deliver his annual budget address to a joint session of the General Assembly on Feb. 15, 2023, at the Illinois Capitol. Pritzker on March 3 announced an initiative aimed at alleviating chronic teacher shortages across the state.
Those districts represent 80% of the unfilled teaching positions in the state. Filling them would improve the student-teacher ratio for over 871,000 students, Pritzker said.“When it comes to our kids, we can always do more. And when it comes to our schools, that means not just more funding, but more resources — and most crucially, more educators,” Pritzker said.
Elgin-based District U-46, for example, has more than 60 support staff employees using a “grow your own” program to work toward their teaching credentials. Recent Illinois State Board of Education data points to 3,558 unfilled teaching positions across Illinois as of October. Pritzker said the vacancies are concentrated in under-resourced schools., who returned to U-46 Friday in his first official appearance since beginning his tenure as head of ISBE a week ago. For nearly a decade, Sanders served as superintendent of U-46.
