While the current economy might be hurting a lot of people, it’s actually helping to keep Las Vegas teaching jobs in place.
The Clark County School District, which oversees all the public schools in the Las Vegas area, has hired considerably fewer new teachers this year compared to previous years. This might be bad news for those looking for an education job in the area, but it’s good news for the school district, which is finally seeing a good attrition rate for teachers.
Last year, the district hired 995 new educators, according to an article by the Las Vegas Sun. The district is estimating that only 300 new teachers will be hired during the 2009-2010 academic year. As of June, only 764 teachers had quit, a decrease from the 1,577 teachers that quit during the same time last year.
