40% of Virginia Division Leaders Call Their Teacher Shortage Severe

Virginia’s staffing crisis is now a daily challenge impacting districts and students across the state. The Virginia Department of Education reports that over 2,500 teacher positions were unfilled in the 2022-23 school year, especially in high-need subjects. Across Richmond, Virginia Beach, and rural southwest Virginia, the shortage of certified teachers continues.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in Virginia

Hiring teachers locally in Virginia is challenging, especially for high-need subjects like special education and ESL. VDOE licensure rules also make the process slower and more complicated. Proximity Learning solves these problems by placing certified, VDOE-compliant teachers into classrooms through live video, no matter where the school is located. Instruction can start within days, bringing stability from the first class.
