Push for Teachers Paying Off in Monticello

The Monticello Board of Education recently invested in local advertising efforts to find teachers for their vacancies in the district.
 
Superintendent of Monticello Schools, Dr. Vic Zimmerman indicates those efforts are paying off as they've been able to fill vacant positions.
 
 
Saying filling the vacancies was thanks to the billboards and advertisements is not something Dr. Zimmerman says is 100-percent accurate, he notes people did take notice of those things and reached out to them.
 
 
Dr. Zimmerman attributes the shortage of teachers to the environment of education when students that are now graduating were leaving high school.
 
 
Dr. Zimmerman also points to the State of Illinois' changes in the pension system as another factor in the educator shortage. He feels being an educator is still a great job to have and he feels Monticello Schools are a great place to work as well.
