Staff at Hampton City Schools interviewed teacher candidates on site on Saturday for the districts first in-person job fair of 2024.

Leaders are estimating having around 300 instructional vacancies during this upcoming school year, but they're hoping scholarships and leadership programs help.

Between Newport News Public Schools and Hampton City schools, there are nearly 430 teacher vacancies, and the districts are down to the wire to get the positions filled.

Hampton City Schools will require employees to get vaccinated or submit to weekly testing depending on whether a federal judge deems the policy constitutional.

The ruling to have more employees roll up their sleeves comes from an OSHA emergency order.
