A new report says most Illinois school districts are facing a serious teacher shortage.
The report comes from the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools.
The report shows 93 percent of schools that were surveyed are facing a shortage of substitute teachers.
It also says 88 percent of the schools surveyed receive five or fewer applications for a position and more than 70 percent say half of the applicants for jobs don’t have the proper credentials to teach.
