GREAT FALLS, Mont. - With rural communities struggling to fill teaching positions for years, the Montana Office of Public Instruction is finding a new way to bring educators to these areas.
Instead of recruiting teachers just within the state of Montana, OPI has put together a plan that will allow all school districts to recruit from nearby states as well.
To help Montana recruit and retain the best teachers Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen has launched a virtual teacher job fair.
This job fair is offered to all Montana school districts and allows Montana districts to recruit from a broader professional pool.
