On August 4, 2022, the D.C. Policy Center’s chart of the week, Ongoing substitute teacher shortages affect schools’ ability to function, was cited by City Cast DC:
“Meanwhile, with three weeks to go until school starts back up, DC Public Schools is facing a serious shortage of substitute teachers. The number of subs has dropped by 50 percent in the past two years, according to a new D.C. Policy Center report. A lot teachers say they’re quitting because of low pay, lack of benefits, and COVID concerns.”
