While teacher shortages continue to be a problem for public school districts across the nation, the East Lansing Public School District remains unaffected by the trend.According to the National Center for Education Statistics, more than 2.4 million teachers will be needed in the next 11 years to fill K-12 classrooms across the country in public school districts.While teacher shortages have been a problem for several years, it has become an important issue only recently in Michigan, said Michigan Education Association spokeswoman Karen Schulz.“Really this is a problem now, but for many years to come, schools will be facing the dilemma of not having enough people out there who want to teach,” she said.Schulz said reasons for the shortage are a high number of retirees and the difficulty of keeping teachers in urban school districts.But Kevin Green, spokesman for the East Lansing Public School District, said the district has not experienced a teacher shortage and doesn’t expect one anytime soon.He said the school district is popular because of the starting salary for teachers and highly rated special education programs.
