SPRINGFIELD A new survey of Illinois school districts shows most are continuing to have trouble filling open teaching positions with qualified teachers and even more are having difficulty hiring substitute teachers.
It’s a problem that has existed in the state for many years and one that experts attribute to a variety of factors, such as low pay and the difficulty in attracting new teachers to work in certain parts of the state.
The survey has been conducted each of the past four years by the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools. Regional superintendents are in charge of supervising schools in the state’s 38 educational regions and operating regional offices of education. They also act as a kind of conduit of information and support between the Illinois State Board of Education and the state’s 853 local school districts.

NASHVILLE â Eight people died in December as a result of a Washington County nursing home s systemic failures to prevent or contain an outbreak of the coronavirus, according to a state inspection report.
They were among 72 residents infected with the virus in a span of about three weeks at Friendship Manor Health Care in Nashville, the report states.
The Illinois Department of Public Health issued Friendship Manor the most serious citation available to regulatory agencies on Dec. 18; it said residents health and safety was in immediate jeopardy based on what it saw.
Friendship Manor Administrator Heather Stich said in response to questions submitted by the BND that the nursing home s leaders vehemently disagree with the state s findings because they believe the circumstances were misrepresented.
State drops most child support interest charges
DHFS says policy unfairly targeted low-income families, people of color
By Peter Hancock
The state is no longer charging interest on late child support payments that are made through the Department of Healthcare and Family Services unless it’s ordered by a court, and all of the outstanding interest charges that those parents owed have been zeroed out.
A spokesman for the agency said in an email that the total accrued interest penalties that were eliminated amounted to just over $2.7 billion.
DHFS made that announcement Monday, saying those interest charges fell disproportionately on low-income families and people of color.
