INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana schools have more than 4,200 open jobs right now, and more than half of those openings are teacher positions.

According ing to the state’s education online job board (on Tuesday, June 21, 2022), more than 2,500 of the open positions posted on the site are teaching jobs.

A new Indiana law aims to help get some open positions filled by allowing schools to issue adjunct teaching permits.

The Indiana State Teachers Association continues to call on lawmakers to do more next year to improve teacher pay and working conditions. Indiana lawmakers will make decisions on school funding when they rewrite the state’s budget early next year.
