The state\u2019s Department of Education announced last week that military veterans can now fill those roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur public schools are really at a crisis level seeing this massive number of vacancies,\u201d Andrew Spar, Florida Education Association president, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abcactionnews.com\/news\/region-pinellas\/florida-needs-9-000-more-teachers-just-weeks-ahead-of-the-start-of-school\" target=\"_blank\">ABC Action News<\/a>. \u201cIn 2010, there were 8,000 graduates from Florida\u2019s colleges and universities becoming teachers. That number was between 2,000 and 3,000 for the year that just ended. That\u2019s a significant drop-off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans will now receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2022\/07\/20\/military-veterans-spouses-can-now-teach-without-degree-florida\/10084909002\/\">a five-year voucher that allows them to teach in the classroom<\/a> without typical accreditation or the necessary education requirements that other certified teachers must possess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move is part of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flgov.com\/2021\/11\/11\/governor-desantis-announces-8-6-million-to-expand-career-and-workforce-training-opportunities-for-military-veterans-and-spouses\/#:~:text=%E2%80%93%20Today%2C%20Governor%20Ron%20DeSantis%20announced,military%20veterans%20and%20spouses%20seeking\" target=\"_blank\">$8.6 million<\/a> statewide initiative to provide careers and workforce training to veterans and their dependents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe owe the freedoms we enjoy as Americans to our military veterans, and I am focused on ensuring Florida is the best state in the nation for those who have served to find great jobs, start or grow businesses and support their families,\u201d said Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a statement. \u201cBusiness is booming in Florida, and employers are looking for the leadership skills, training and teamwork military veterans bring to the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fldoe.org\/teaching\/certification\/military\/\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Education<\/a> currently expects veteran candidates without degrees seeking teaching positions to have at least 60 college credits and a baseline 2.5 GPA. They need to pass the subject area examination for bachelor\u2019s level subjects, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, their service needs to amount to 48 months in the military, with an honorable or medical discharge. If hired by a school, they are required to be supervised by a teaching mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teachers and local unions, on the other hand, feel this move will lower the standard of education for Florida schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can\u2019t just throw a warm body in a classroom, that\u2019s not the answer,\u201d Barry Dubin, president of the Sarasota County Teachers Association, told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/story\/news\/education\/2022\/07\/24\/military-veterans-spouses-can-now-teach-without-degree-florida\/10128335002\/\" target=\"_blank\">Herald Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the shortage is dire, the decision to use veterans as a stop-gap measure has educators questioning the state\u2019s criteria for teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are many people who have gone through many hoops and hurdles to obtain a proper teaching certificate,\u201d Carmen Ward, president of the Alachua County teachers union, said. \u201c(Educators) are very dismayed that now someone with just a high school education can pass the test and can easily get a five-year temporary certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of July 1, 2022, veterans can work as teachers without a bachelor&#8217;s
