BEDFORD – NLCS Superintendent Dr. Ty Mungle, told school board members during their meeting Thursday night that each school should be ready for the start of the school year with proper staffing levels.
An issue with available teachers has been an ongoing problem for many other school corporations throughout Indiana, and NLCS is no different according to Dr. Mungle.
“A few years ago, there used to be close to 500 education graduates from local schools, now its closer to 300, and each school corporation is dealing with this shortage in different ways,” said Dr. Mungle. “We are in a better situation than most schools, and we will be ready for the start of the school year.”
The school board voted to allow Dr. Ty Mungle to hire necessary staff to get the schools fully staffed at the opening of the school year, as he works with Assistant Superintendent Chris Tanner, Director of Learning Maggie Dainton, and the principals of each school.
