The pandemic might be slowing down in Colorado, but staffing shortages have not.
Amie Baca-Oehlert, president of Colorado Education Association , explained this is a statewide issue, made worse by the pandemic, but especially difficult to fix in mountain communities.
But Dr. Grant Schmidt, chief human resources officer of Summit County School District, knows this is not a long-term fix.Part of the staffing issues stem from the lack of affordability for educators . Schmidt said they have the fourth-highest starting salaries out of all Colorado districts, but that’s a necessity when you can’t live nearby because of a well recognized housing crisis.
Baca-Oehlert called the staffing shortages across the state a crisis and called for more funding this year from the state legislature. Schmidt stopped short of calling this a teacher crisis, but did say it was an educator crisis, with a desperate need for support staff specifically in the district.
