A shortage of substitute teachers during a time when the demand has never been higher has left Fayette County Public Schools trying to find ways to fill daily absences caused by Covid-19.
There has always been a need for substitutes during normal years, but the need is greater this year due to the pandemic. Teachers out sick, on quarantine, or needing to take care of an ill family member has caused a greater number of absences.
For the same reasons, many substitutes who have worked in previous years are not available to fill in, or do not feel comfortable being in a classroom right now.
