School is starting in the next few weeks in California. There are many undertakings at the present time to address class size, curriculum coverage and teacher availability. Prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, California began losing teachers at a higher rate than in previous years. At the present time fifty percent of teachers are leaving the profession within the first five years. There is also another statistic that is equally alarming. There were 100,000 less students enrolled in the public school system in our state last year. Where are these students? How can we return them to the educational system? If they were in High School, how do we graduate those that have not been in school? What effects does this have on the Community College and the four year Colleges? The shortage of teachers + the shortage of students does not = quality educational experience. What happens if one third of the missing students show up? Will we have the ability to educate them given the teacher statistics?
