Officials with Beaver Area School District are still seeing a shortage of substitute teachers as absences continue during the early flu season.
High school Principal Sean Snowden says around five to seven teachers are out each day due to illness or, in some cases, professional development.
The school is using available staff to fill in, sometimes having to combine classes; an approach Snowden says is not ideal.
He is encouraging community members to become certified to work as substitute teachers in the district.
