PENINSULA, Ohio — Experts say some educators have been reluctant to get back into the classroom due to the health and safety concerns around COVID-19.
A handful of local district employees have said they’ve even had to outsource through private companies to find qualified adults to substitute teach.
“So I own a travel agency and with all of the pandemic going on it’s been a little bit slow,” said Suzanne Upton, who is filling in as a sub for the Woodridge Local School District to supplement her income. “I went through the process to get my substitute certification and our superintendent Walter Davis had indicated to me that I might get a phone call every day.”
