The Florida Education Association states, "Florida has a serious and growing teacher shortage. Districts had more than 4,000 advertised vacancies for classroom teachers in August 2018, up from 3,000 in 2017 and 2,400 in 2016. As of January 2020 —midway through the school year — more than 2,440 teaching positions remained unfilled — a 10% increase from January 2019." Critical subject areas include Math, Science, English and Reading.
Florida offers some of the lowest teacher salaries in the nation, so teacher retention is poor. This leaves thousands of open teaching jobs every year. Ultimately, the most recent teacher shortage report shows 3,911 teacher vacancies plus 16,585 under-qualified teachers in Florida during the 2021-22 school year.
In April 2021, Frontline Education surveyed 1,200 district leaders to discover that two out of three respondents reported having teacher shortages in their schools. This is a record high since launching the survey in 2015.
