Our district is offering sign-on bonuses for certain subjects for highly qualified teachers. We are also paying teachers more if they have class sizes above our quota numbers. I think they should focus on teacher retention so that the problem doesn’t get worse. Burn out is a big issue and we had a good percentage take early retirement or transfer last year.
In MD there are no available teachers to hire, so extra programs had to be cancelled.
I’m in northern Illinois and we have a huge sub shortage. I haven’t heard the district doing anything to help. Our principal, specialists, aides, and even specials teachers are having to jump in.
Add Florida to the shortages. My district recently increased sub pay by $15. Teacher retention is at the heart of the teacher shortage… last year starting teacher pay was increased to $46,000. So to the rest of us veteran teachers who weren’t making that we were awarded a 4% raise. Yeah, so I’ve got 16+ years in the same district and I’m now making the same salary as a new teacher with NO experience… yeah I feel real valued! Thankfully, local Union and FEA are fighting for compensation for longevity! I’m not surprised fewer college students are majoring in Education 👀
Georgia has a teacher shortage and a sub/bus driver shortage

Not in my district, but in alot of the smaller districts there are major shortages. They are starting to hire teachers that are licensed in other areas to fill the spots. Also having paras, etc. Teach under some type of emergency teaching license. They agree to get a license in 2 or 3 years and they can teach.
Huge shortage. We have a lot of long-term subs (along with a severe sub shortage as others said) and a lot of people on waivers right now in the building

Another trend I've notices contributing to the sub shortage - Retired teachers used to sub for a few years after retiring, not all but a good number of them. I know of 8 teachers who retired last year not a single 9ne signed up to sub this year and a couple of teachers who retired 2 or 3 years ago did not sign up to sub again. I'm retiring In a few years and I definitely won't sub.
