“We didn’t learn anything in those three weeks.” “That teacher does not teach the subject, does not have any training in that subject and it just keeps spiraling and spiraling,” she said. Zamil says when her anatomy teacher was out sick for three weeks, a rotation of teachers had to fill in. That’s down to 58% in 2021.īerkeley High has been getting creative. In 2018, Berkeley Unified overall was able to fill 69% of sub requests from the sub pool. “We may have 12 teachers unfilled, and I have to fill those positions,” Ferguson said, “A lot of people afraid that, you know, come to work with this COVID going on, so it's putting yourself at risk, really.

The situation has become so dire that the district has had to send teachers normally on special assignment for math or literacy coaching to work both as substitutes at the high school, and to replace administrators who typically would be on hall duty but are themselves subbing in classrooms. “We are also short of safety staff, so the hallways are unmonitored and students are roaming the halls, banging on classroom doors, vandalizing, etcetera,” said Moran. Zamil said she had teachers out in her anatomy, AP government and AP literature classes just that week.Įthnic studies teacher Dana Moran agrees with students that there has been much more fighting and unruly behavior this year.

But sub numbers have dwindled across the Bay Area, and the shortage appears to be at a crisis point at Berkeley High School, where students are walking out of empty classrooms.
