Hundreds Of Teacher Positions Unfilled Before School Starts Next Week

School bells will be ringing in South Florida next week and there are still hundreds of unfilled teacher positions. There are 221 teacher openings in Broward and 224 in Miami-Dade, meaning class sizes could go up if they can't fill the spots. Broward Teachers Union President Anna Fusco says the biggest issue is pay-many can't afford to start at 47-thousand-dollars a year --she says the other issue is some are scared to start because of mandates with the so-called Don't Say Gay law. She says the state needs to offer better incentives especially with the housing crisis.
