The Education Staffing Squeeze: Addressing Workforce Challenges in Schools

Schools are being asked to do more with less and are facing more mandated services, more students with IEPs, more competition for a shrinking pool of teachers, nurses, and therapists, all while budgets tighten and the pandemic-era funding cliff hits. In this episode, host Alex Acton talks with Ashley Donaldson, Division Vice President at Supplemental Health Care, about what's really driving the education staffing crisis and how districts are navigating it. Ashley brings a rare vantage point to this conversation: a former special education teacher, behavior specialist, and IEP compliance lead who's also been on the other side of the table as a parent navigating speech services for her own child. Now she leads workforce planning and solution design for school district partners across the country.
