Kansas schools are bringing people from outside the classroom to teach during staffing crunch

Teaching wasn’t always the plan for Lindsey Kepka, the business teacher at Avenue A School in Hutchinson, but after 10 years into a business career, she decided to switch paths. She specialized in philanthropy and finance during her career, but after re-evaluating her impact on the community, she enrolled in the Transition to Teaching program at Fort Hays State University two years ago…. As Kansas schools address teacher shortages, more districts are looking to restricted license programs — university programs meant to train industry veterans like Kepka from outside the education industry to be teachers — to help staff high school classrooms.
