Missouri Teacher Shortage Hits Rural and Urban Districts Hardest

Missouri’s staffing crisis is serious and impacts districts across Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, and the state. About 3,325 critical positions are vacant statewide and many educators are uncertified, especially in elementary, early childhood, and special education. Shortages are especially severe in rural areas, making it difficult to ensure every classroom has a fully qualified teacher.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in Missouri

Finding certified teachers in Missouri is tough, especially for rural districts that face long hiring processes and often have open positions in hard-to-fill subjects. Strict DESE certification requirements also make traditional hiring slower. Proximity Learning solves these problems by connecting Missouri districts with DESE-certified teachers through live, synchronous instruction, no matter where your district is located.
