As we look to the end of the school year, this is the time of year that school districts will be scrambling to recruit new teachers to fill empty classrooms at the start of the next school year in the fall.

At last count, there are already 10 thousand openings for teachers all over the state, and the school year isn't even over yet. For a lot of those teachers, that means even more trouble as those teachers who left early, might lose their teaching certifications.
